Yes it is good you recommend typing out the url. I have found that this gets really good click throughs compared to anchor text.

Your video was very well done and helpful.

What are the pros and cons of using the name of the company instead of the author in the resource box?

Thanks

Thanks for this quality information. I just realized that my resource boxes are a little long-winded and I’ve been making them a little too generic instead of focusing primarily on the topic of the individual article.

I`d never realized that it`s possible to set up more than one resource box. I usually just rewrite the information whenever I submit a new article. Thanks for the help, it`s something I`ll put right.

This is really good info. Especially the comments about the size of the resource box being only 25% of the size of the article.

Another effective method I have recently discovered is using the phrase, “Next Step:” and then telling them what to do next in order to gain maximum benefit. So far, it has dramatically increased my clickthru rate.

Christopher M. Knight writes:

John,

Actually, the Resource Box should be a max of 15% of the size of the article body in both word count and vertical line count.

Thank you for covering stuff like this. I think it’s really important to stand by the honor system too when it comes to contribute writing and web publishing. I like to believe that most bloggers/writers do it, because they genuinely love to share info and read as well. Thanks for sharing this tip.

Very helpful information. On the new format, how do you add default Resource Boxes?

Linda –

There is no way to designate one of your Resource Boxes as the default. The Resource Box you used last will be selected anytime you create a new article.

Hi
Thanks for pointing me to that video-

Can EzineArticles writers still deep-link in the resource box ? I’m new-

I guess I could use both of the link examples in that video to do so,? First make a full URL link, then a little further down in the box I’d add add an anchor text link ?

December 5, 2012 at 1:34 PM

Vanessa, Editorial Manager writes:

You can use either the full URL or you can use anchor text for your links. How you format these is completely up to you! :D

I see you have correctly used anchor text in your first article. Great job!

Hi Vanessa,
Thank you – my articles are visible ? I never got a message of acceptance from Ezine so I assumed I was still waiting to hear. I thought I would get emailed a notice ?

Is it “either-or” with the anchor text and URL ? or are we “allowed”to “deep link” here and use both ? Maybe it’s a silly question, I think I have seen deep linking here – {?}

The way I want to do it is to have a full URL to my homepage, and then an anchor text link to page 2 in my Website.

Thank you for your patience-it took a long time to get an answer from Ezine {about 3 days} then they answered only half my question….not sure what is going on.

Hi,
Can you please tell how to put an entire URL in a resource box as a link ?

If deep-linking is approved here {I think it is} how to do that too ?

I’ve read pro and con articles — I just want to know how to do this if you don’t mind bothering with it ?
I have asked EzineArticles with the “contact us” email but it was days ago and they have not answered {not sure how long it normally takes for an answer}.

thanks very much,
Lori

[Reply]

Lori Ross writes:

OK thanks to everyone who replied –
but I still am not sure , did you mean that it is “either”
,”or” but not “both” ? with the links ?

See what I want to do is, in the resource box I want to link to my Homepage plus either article 1 or 2 from my website. Deep-linking.

I’m never sure if I’m understood unless it’s spoken to directly. Can anyone address deep-linking itself ?
Allowed or not allowed ?
{when I’ve tried to do it ,it always failed}

just making sure – thank you ahead of time.

I am getting confused about what I exactly I have to write in resource box. Some people says to mention my website link while others say it is not required.

Please suggest me what else I have to write in resource box that seems perfect for EzineArticles approval.

[Reply]

Vanessa, Editorial Manager writes:

Hi Cortney,

Your Resource Box is the appropriate place to include information about yourself and/or your business. This is your ‘take’ from the reader in that you can include promotional material about you and your business. Your article is your ‘give’ to the reader in that it should be informative in nature (not promotional for you or your business) providing tips, strategies, etc.

You may include up to 2 self-serving links to your personal and/or business sites in your Resource Box, if you wish. For more information on how to use your Resource Box effectively, I recommend this article:

Can you explain HTML to put the URL link in?

[Reply]

Derek, Member Support writes:

Thank you for your question. To create an anchor text link, your HTML code will look like this:

<a target=”_blank” href=”http://YourCompanyName.com/” rel=”nofollow”>CLICKABLE TEXT</a>

To create a URL link, your HTML code will look like this:

<a target=”_blank” href=”http://Your-Company-Name.com/” rel=”nofollow”>http://Your-Company-Name.com</a>

For more information on anchor text, view section 3g of our Editorial Guidelines: http://ezinearticles.com/editorial-guidelines/guideline/3g
