ezinearticles.com "technical" question

To all ezinearticles.com experts

Please could you answer a question I've got that's so basic it doesn't seem to be answered on the ezinearticles.com site anywhere?

What I want to do is to put in 2 lots of anchor text (links to my home page and a relevant web page) in the Resources box (the bit where you're allowed to advertise yourself).

I can't work out how to do it.

There is an "insert link" tool that works for the main body of the article; it doesn't seem to work for the resources box.

Have asked this question via ezinearticles.com customer support but haven't yet had an answer.

Would very much appreciate your help, thanks.

Hi All

Have got an answer from ezine.com but don't think I understand it.

1. Please could somebody tell me whether my "worked example" (given below) would actually work?
2. And if it wouldn't, what have I not understood please about the answer I've been given?
3. Also, when someone says they want http://your-company-name does it mean everything'll throw a wobbly if I put http://www.your-company-name instead?

ezine.com advice:-

You are able to create linked text by using the following HTML:

<a target="_new" href="http://your-company-name.com/">Anchor
Text Here</a>

My goal is to have my anchor text reading Career and linking through to the home page of my website.

So, do I first switch from WYSIWYG to the HTML version of the article submission page - or isn't that necessary?

When I get to the word before the Career I want to use as my anchor text, do I write as follows please:

<a target="_Career" href="http://www.careers-partnership-uk.com/">Anchor Text Here</a>

Would be grateful for any advice offered. It is so frustrating to fall at this last hurdle! Best wishes, Linda

Been a while since I did anything on ezinearticles so I'm no expert, but just logged into my account, and the resource (signature box) is in html.

My sig is this:

Steve Richardson</br>
<a target="_new" href="http://www.mylocalservices.co.uk">My Local Services</a> - The Online Business Directory - rated and reviewed by real reople.</br>


In your example, to have career as an anchor text, it would look like this:

<a target="_new" href="http://www.careers-partnership-uk.com">Career</a>

putting www or no www won't make any difference.

does that make sense?

Thanks, thanks and more thanks! Will now see if I'm allowed to adjust the ezine article in accordance with your advice.

It's been so frustrating, I'm anticipating my second article will be rejected purely because of the Resource box problems I'd experienced.

In the ezinearticle you can add your keyword through hyperlink in Resources box. You can't add the hyperlink ib the body of the article.

Thanks Proval, This is what I'm doing.

I aim to write articles linking back to each of my web site's most important pages and then place the two anchor text links to the relevant page as well as my Home page. I've one article "live" and two articles pending.

Would be interested to know others' experiences of any increases in site visits and improvements in Google page placings as a result of ezinearticles.com exposure.

Best wishes, Linda
