It sometimes happens that I need to share a link to an article or a book on the internet and suggest reading it but I don't know how to do it in a polite way. My usual option is:
If you take/have a look at the article you'll find that...

So the questions are:
1. Is my option natural?
2. There are times when during a discussion I repeat that formula again and again. What else could I say in such a situation?

How about "Here's a link to an article I think you'll find useful/interesting ..."?
 
It's perfect! Thanks.
 
If you find yourself repeatedly linking to the same page, you might reduce traffic by simply pasting a quote into your thread. Include a link each time, though.
 
During one conversation I sometimes refer to several books or articles which can be found on different sites. That's why I asked the original question. I'd just like to diversify the ways of how to suggest politely and unintrusively what I think would be of some help to the interlocutor.
