Article directories are a good way to get back links and traffic to your sites. Most article directories provide you with a resource box at the end where you can add few links back to your site or blog and what most people do is write a quality article and add a resource box mentioning there blog.If you add your resource box like that at the end of the paragraph, chances of people clicking on it and coming to your blog is pretty slim , if you have published few articles on article directories you are bound to know this. Another problem with this method is, scrapers who hunt for articles just ignore the resource box and publish your article. More than the traffic that is the thing that annoyed me the most. After some thought I came up with a pretty nifty way of avoiding that problem. First below is how a typical resource box looks like.

What I did was to make the resource box a part of the article. Most article directories specify a minimum number of words for an article. For Ezine its 250 words. If you write an article that is around 300-350 words you have plenty of words to add in the resource box section where you can add links. The trick is to make the resource box a part of an the article. For example if you are explaining something which has three points you can explain two points in the article and one point inside the resource box. All this is not going to work if you haven't written an interesting article. More interesting and useful the article more clicks your gonna get .
