Any Advice on a Better Resource Box?

by Michelle Strait
7 replies
One of my articles on Ezinearticles has more than 6,000 views. The problem is only 955 people clicked the link in my resource box. The article is a video game review, and I want to increase the click rate (especially since its the holidays).

Here's the current resource box:

"Go now to (the website address) to see the remaining 3 best Nintendo DS games for girls."


How can I make it better?

Thanks

    Now listen carefully,
    Do you know there are other 3 Nintendo DS games for girls which are just amazing as this one. On next page I had reviewed the rest 3 games and I hope you don't want to miss it. Click Here - to visit next page.

    Actually you are missing strong call to action, with above example you will surly get good click thru ratio.

    How about this... Try creating some curiousity.

    "Can you guess the top 3 nintendo ds games for girls? Head over to (your website here) to see if you guessed correctly."

    People like a challenge just as much as they like to be right about something.

    If comments are enabled on the site you are linking to, you can include something in the resource box encouraging them to leave a comment with their top 3 games.

    How about this:

    "And this is JUST for starters! Nothing can beat the top 3 Nintendo DS games - these ones!" (link "these ones" to your page).

    Thanks for the help. Yes, my original resource box is terrible compared to the suggestions. I get the idea now! Thanks.

      Here is a real sneaky one but it works...

      Depending on how long the article is you could add the last paragraph of the article into the resource box and place a link into it. The have your standard resource box under the last paragraph.. people don't expect links in the last paragraph so often click especially the ones who ignore resource boxes

    Don't neglect considering the quality of the article itself when looking at resource box CTR.

    A good box will always help, but even the best can't save a poor article.

    Note: I'm NOT questioning the quality of the OP's work, just making an observation.
