Carefully selected links to related resources can greatly
enhance the value of an article. In fact, many writers get
paid for material that is little more than lists of links.
Some Web publishers allow few or no off-site links, reasoning
that they cause visitors to leave the site, instead of sticking
around a while and racking up a few more ad impressions. It's
up to the publisher to decide where they stand on this delicate
issue, but as a writer, well-selected links can make your work
more valuable in several ways.
Including links to related content shows readers that you've
done some research, and that you are willing to let them
check out other viewpoints. Most importantly, it simply
makes your article a more extensive resource. An article
that includes lots of appropriate links can be like a
mini-cyclopedia of a particular topic.
Don't overdo it, though. Too many links, or links to topics
that are only marginally related to your topic, are distracting
and annoying. For example, you don't need to include a link
to Microsoft's site every time you mention Microsoft in an
article. Many writers don't like the idea of readers clicking
away in the middle of an article, perhaps never to return,
so they choose to group all the links for a particular article
at the end. Others prefer to include the links in the body
of an article, in context.
Any time you include a link, make it clear where the link
actually leads. Consider the following sentence:
Photoshop is my favorite graphics editor. For additional
information, you can read
my review of the product, or you can visit the
vendor's Web site.
