Yes, the resource box is very powerful!
Here are a couple of suggestions:
Instead of writing, "I am so and so, to read my other stuff, click here"
You could write "To download a great report on(whatever your subject is), visit here"
Give them a reason to go visit your site!
Or you could have a two part article and have the first half sent to the article directory and the second half on your blog/website.
"To read the rest of this article, please visit my website"
Always find a reason for them to come visit your site, that is the main reason for the resource box, get them to click it.
I know this is not a way to get more views of your articles, but a great way to have them visit your website.
