I run a report directory on my site, and I'm seeing an ever-increasing quantity of articles being presented, only for the backlink given in the Resource Box. This might be due to the increasing variety of PLR articles and material that's becoming available.

Today, there is certainly not something wrong with this, I only believe that authors who are doing this are missing out on possible traffic and/or consumers. Such source boxes will only gain their site ratings in any internet search engine that values incoming links.
