Some have even built websites just dedicated to delivering articles for their website visitors to read, complete with connections to several websites relevant to the articles' topics and subjects.

For example, the sites may have numerous articles covering a wide range of themes. When a website visitor reads the articles they are looking for, they will see a resource box at the bottom of the page that can be clicked to take them to the site that provided the content. Naturally, the article would be related to the website. If the post is about rotating tires, for example, the resource box could connect to a site that sells tires or car parts.

A resource box is typically seen towards the conclusion of an article. They will include the author's name, a brief biography of the author, a description of the sponsoring site, and a link. If a reader enjoys what they've read, they'll want to find out where it originated from so they can read more.

Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages. They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be counted upon as potential customers.

So what would be a good content for your resource box? Basically it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords that people are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find in the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to use.

Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you better make the most of it.

But you do have the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can make them think and intrigued.
