The reason for a link not working may be due to
the incorrect formatting. You might have inadvertently slipped on
this aspect. Format your link in a proper way. How to find out that
your article resource box link is working? There are some easy ways
to ensure that you links are working properly driving the articles
readers to your website.
Properly formatting your URL
Ensure that the URL of your website includes
'http://'. Including this means your URL is a fully qualified URL.
This helps to ensure that websites convert the URL into an active
link to your website when it is published. Always write your URL as
'http://www.yourwebsitename.com' instead of 'www.yourwebsitename.com.
You may sometime commit mistake while typing the name of your
website. To avoid that just open your website on the internet and
copy and paste the URL from the address bar.
Write a simple URL
Avoid having Italics or bold letters in your
URL. No doubt you always have the option of advanced HTML resource
box, but that doesn't mean that the resource box can support bold,
Italics, underline or any other HTML coding.
Use your targeted keyword as anchor text to hyperlink to your
website. Before using anchor text verify whether the resource box
offered by the articles directory supports hyper linking. Most of
the article directories will be having clear instructions over their
resource box on how to link to your website. Some boxes won't
support anchor text and they merely support your URL 'http://www.yourwebsitename.com'.
Remember that you will not be placing the actual HTML code in the
resource boxes. See the preview to check whether your URL is
properly formatted and shows a link to your website.
Make your URL to appear prominently
Always keep your URL in a new line and don't
place it continuously after your resource box content. Keeping it in
a new line will make it to look prominently to the article readers
tempting them to clink through to your website. It also helps if
there is a problem with some publishers when the article is wrapped
incorrectly when published.
Avoid punctuation after your URL
As a writing practice we would place a comma or
a full stop at the end of a sentence. This sub-conscious habit will
make your to put a full stop after writing your URL. This will
create problem and your URL may not work properly. For example see
the illustration below.
For
risk free business ideas and opportunities go to:
http://www.yourwebsitename.com.
Remove
the full stop. Just avoid the reason and write your URL as shown
below.
For
risk free business ideas and opportunities go to:
http://www.yourwebsitename.com
The
final step is testing your links
Testing
your links before submitting your article is the best foolproof way
to ensure that the links are working. As said earlier use the
preview option to see that your links are properly formatted. In the
preview page click on the link shown in your resource box and very
that it takes you to the website or blog, you want the readers of
your article to go.
Avoid long URL
This
will help when the email publishers receive your articles. They use
some format to make your article to suit their website. They usually
follow the 60 CPL format, that means sixty characters per line. If
they limit a line to 60 CPL, you link will be broken if your URL
exceeds 60 characters. Though the publishers are obliged to publish
your articles with a valid link, the formatting system may cause a
problem to your resource box link. It is better to have a short URL
than blaming the publisher for not producing a working resource box
link. Take every care so that your useful article and your efforts
in writing it don't go waste by having a broken link. Keep your link
URL under sixty characters.
If your
top level domain URL is under sixty characters, use it in the text
resource box and put your longer URL in the HTML resource box. This
way, your aim of getting links to other pages of your website will
be served without the risk of having broken links.
After
taking all the efforts to write a quality article, it is the
resource box that ultimately take your readers to the desired
website of yours. Take the same care and effort while writing your
resource box content and placing the article resource box link.
