More Traffic To Your Blog By Adding The Blog Address In Your Emails!

If you have a blog that you are particularly proud of,
and that you want to share with other people, there
are a lot of free ways that you can get your blog
noticed.

One of those ways is something that you do everyday,
and that you may not even consider as a way to share
your blog. Put the link to your blog in your email
signature.

Chances are that you send out emails more times than
you can count during the day, Each time you send out
an email, you can advertise your blog by putting the
address of your blog in your email's signature.

It's always a good idea to write something catchy
like, See what I am up to now, or Read my latest
chapter of my family life here, see how the blog can
help your online business, depending on what type of
blog you have.

The thing to remember about putting an advertisement
in your signature for your blog is to make it short,
but eye catching.



You want people to be interested enough to want to
click on it, but you also don't want to scare them
off.

Just like it is with any advertisement, you want to
give them just enough to be interested and take a
closer look at what it is that you are advertising.

Think about what it is that your blog is about. What
is really going to interest people about it and want
to visit? That is what you should include in your
signature, and that is what is going to get people to
go to your blog.

Have a nice day.

How Do You Get The Word Out About Your Blog Or Website !

If you are someone who uses chat programs such as AIM,
ICQ, Yahoo messenger, MSN, or Googletalk and have a
lot of online friends, it can be a great way to get
people to read your blog and to leave comments on it.

As it is with your signature on your email, you don't
want to just send an instant message to people
every time you update your blog. You also don't want to
simply send a message to someone asking to read your
blog.

For someone who has been on your friends list for a
while, you can be less formal of course, but you want
to be polite when you talk to people who you may have
not talked to in a while or someone who is new.

Use your own judgement when you are chatting with
people about your blog. If it's someone that you
haven't talked to in a while, and someone asks you
what you have been up to, you can point them to your
blog so that they know what is going on with you.



Some blogs, like LiveJournal, have their own messaging
program, so that's also another good way to advertise
your blog.

Be certain that you don't send someone a message
though only to advertise your blog. It's more polite
to say something about their blog first, and then tell
them about your blog.



If you have a common interest, it's a good ice breaker
and it will give you something to talk about.

An other way would be to put out a press release. This
way you let everyone what your blog is about and how
to find it.

Twitter is a way to let people know about thing that
you are doing, how to find your blog or website.

These are but a few of the ways that can help you
get more people to your blog or website. Most of these
things cost you nothing but a little of your time.
Are you doing these things already. Use them to your
benefit.

Domain Name Marketing Is The Way To Success!

When you start your own business you want to find a
way to drive customers to your store. Domain name
marketing is becoming more common to use in
advertising your online business.

Domain name marketing is easy once you figure out how
to do it. To start you need to have a website up and
running online.

This will help you come up with a great domain name
and peak your potential customer’s interests. When you
use domain name marketing you can double the amount of
customers that come into your shop online and if you
run your shop offline as well you may find that you
make more money when you are online. Marketing is an
improved technique to advertising.



Success is determined by the amount of time you want
to put into it. If you are willing to put in a lot of
time and effort you may find that your payoff will
come sooner rather than later.

Customers appreciate details and your domain name
marketing results will show you how many customers and
potential customers you have reached. Not everyone
will purchase something the first time they shop.
Don’t let this discourage you.

Chances are they will return to your site, especially
if they have it bookmarked by one of your
advertisements. Marketing is a great way to tell the
world that you are in business and when you get a
chance stop in and visit. Make sure you protect your
domain name by registering it before you advertise.

Domain Names That Use Keywords Get More Traffic To The Website!

When you are choosing your domain name you will want
to use keywords in your name that will help someone
find your website easily by searching. When you
include keywords in your domain name you are letting
the name speak for your business. Someone will know
right away what you are offering just by the name.

They can click on your website for details on the
products that is offered on your site. Making your
domain name keyword friendly can increase your chances
of getting more business and increasing sales.

When a customer does not purchase something the first
time they will probably return and possibly purchase
the next time. In the future they know where they can
find your site and what all it offers.

Keywords are very important when it comes to domain
names and it will set you apart from other sites
online that offer similar products that no one knows
about because of the name.



Before you get started using your name you need to
make sure it is unique and not already out there. You
will need to do a search to see if someone else has
already registered the domain name for their business.

If the name you have chosen is not in use then you
need to register it before someone else. If the domain
name is already taken, you will need to choose an
alternative domain name that will describe your
business using keywords. Using keywords will increase
your customers and your sales.

Domain Name Markeing, How to use it?

If your website has been up and running for quite some
time but your sales are not really increasing but
staying within the same range you may want to consider
domain name marketing to increase your business.

Sometimes one ad can go in a thousand different
directions and it is quick and easy to get it started
by domain name marketing. When you use any kind of
marketing to enhance your business you will need a
plan to know what direction you want to go in to
succeed.

You don’t want to just type in a couple of ads and be
done with it. You will need to spend a lot of time and
effort into your marketing in order to make it
successful.



If you don’t the result will equal to the amount of
time you spent. At first you may not see much of a
difference and fear your countless hours behind the
keyboard were wasted and then it will happen.

They will start visiting your site until you have
someone in your shop nearly all the time. Sometimes
it’s not what you sell but how you sell it that gets
your customers in.

Don’t stop marketing just because you are starting to
see a change. You need to continue to work at it until
you can level off on the marketing and just market
once or twice each month, more during holiday seasons.
It won’t be long until your business will be a
success.

What are your comments on marketing your domain
name?

Can The Wrong Domain Name Hurt Your Business?

You have decided to start your own business online and
you want to start advertising and getting potential
customers to your site.

Imagine being able to run your business 24 hours a day
7 days a week and never leave your house to do so.

Running a business online can be very profitable if
you have the correct domain name for your business.

You don’t want to mislead your customers by
advertising something that you don’t sell to get them
into your store. This can lead to trouble and you
don’t need that.

When you choose your domain name you may want to
consider your most popular item that you will be
offering and see if you can add that into your domain
name.



Like if you have the name "Pens R Us" chances are your
customers will know that you are selling pens, paper,
and office supplies.

When they need to order they can click on your site to
choose from the many varieties that you carry. They
may even be able to get their company logo on the pens
when they order. This is a great way to add your
business product into your domain name.

If you are selling pens and office supplies and you
choose a domain name such as "Paper Products", this
covers a lot of general ground and may not attract the
potential customers that you would have attracted if
you had used "Pens R Us".

You need to try to be specific on your domain name in
order to get it right. Your name sometimes says it all
and it is all that someone will see. Choose a name
that is important to your business and you will be a
success.

Have you had success with your domain name?
How has it helped your business?
