Use Keywords In Your Articles
********************************************
Using keywords is the best way to get your article listed on the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Msn etc... You want to use "Long tail Keywords" which means more than one, usually 2-3 phrase word will do. There are plenty of free keyword research tools online here is one that I use (http://)freekeywords.wordtracker.com/. Go to the tool and put in your search phrase and you can see how many times that search has been done by other online users. You want to find a number that is less than one million but more than fifty. You want to use your keywords in your article at least 5-10 times, once in the title, once in the first paragraph, a few times in the middle and once in the last paragraph.

What I mean by that is you want to give the reader a good reason to click your link and get more information. The three things a good resource box needs are:
1.) An attention grabbing headline
