Resource Is King - Driving Traffic And Links

The fastest and most effective way to make money online is to provide resourceful tips to your readers in order to convert your 'teaching ability' into traffic then income. One of the most used term "How to-" provides a comprehensive tutorial guide which allow readers to shorten their learning time span on figuring out what should be their next step to understand the full potential of using the program and ultimately you will be the one providing them with tips and trick to effectively optimize the program to their needs. Successful teaching comes in return with traffic and links which will be convert to income over time.

Experiment - Content Vs Resource
I did an experiment using my Google Analytics to determine which was the best - 'Content' or 'Resources'? The result were obvious, Resources - 101 Tips i learn from blogging got the best results of 1,593 views(till Oct 23) over less than 2 weeks and Content - Google Pagerank Juice with 624 views(till Nov 10).

Over the past week, i received over 20 backlinks and most of them comes from my 56 resourceful tips and my 10 innovative tips to create Rss Buttons. That is a nice number over the weeks and none of the backlink came from my content posting. It was a good linkbait over the weekend using resources which was pretty easy to create and publish to earn some great backlinks.

Do you need experiences to post resourceful tips?
My answer is no, you do not need to be experience nor do you have to be a pro blogger to throw out a list of tips for your readers. One thing good about resource posting is that you can learn along the way as you compile your own list.

What are the categories to a successful resource post
If you are still unaware what sort of information would be a great resource to the bloggers then here i have 3 different categories which you can try creating on your blog.
  • Smashing List (Top 10 List, 101 Tips)
  • Blog Guides (How to)
  • Blogging Hacks & Tools (SERP, Pagerank Center)
Read more and share with others
I always like my resource post to be simple and straight forward. The target topic should be direct and easy to understand, the links should give them answers they need and the articles should have some values in it so read the article yourself before you link to your post, remember you are a teacher in the eyes of your "students", do your homework first and make sure the topic you teach carries weight in it otherwise your "students" will never appreciate your work for them and might retaliate instead.

Is content finally fading off?
Is content dead after all? I don't think it will ever die, it's so viral and people can't live without it. What would a blog be without content, will it just be a living library full of resources? Resource information still comes directly from content without content published, we will never be able to create a list of resourceful information.

Use Resources to drive traffic and links
My little experiment had proven that resource post does increase your traffic and backlink stats over time, everyone loves to read on resources because of the coverage they can find on one single article. Have you posted your next smashing list yet?
