The first tip is to not add any html code to it. This means no underlining, no bold and no italics or color. Html code seems to mess with the article formatting and makes the links not work and we don’t want that!

The second tip is a simple one: Don’t use punctuation of any kind at the end of the address, this means no period, comma or exclamation mark.

The third tip is to put your website link onto a new line. Not sure why it happens but I do know that it does. It somehow makes the link not work, perhaps by cutting it short or something. Again I am not sure why but I know you don’t want the chance of a broken link, so put it on its own line and be safe.

The fourth valuable tip is to make sure that you begin your website link with the proper full address of your site. That means do not leave off the http://. It is so easy to simply type in the www. part and forget the other part, but in order for it to work it has to be the complete address.

The fifth tip goes along with the first. Make sure that you put in the complete address, correctly. If you are unsure the easiest way is to pull up your website and copy and paste the address into your author resource box. That way you know without a doubt it is a good link.

The sixth and final tip that is most important and you should do each and every time is to check that your typed link works. If it is hyperlinked for you, click on it. If it is typed out, copy and paste it into your address bar and make sure that you go to your page and that your site opens.

Now you know the 6 simple tips to guarantee your author resource box links work. It cannot be stressed enough the importance of making sure that they work. It only takes a few minutes to check and it can save you a world of frustration.
