Get Free Traffic

Posts Tagged ‘email’

There’s an easy little way to drive free traffic to your website and, if you’re like most people, you probably aren’t doing it.

You should have the URL of your site, in the form of a clickable link, as part of the signature attached to every email you send.  It takes about 5 seconds to set up and it can deliver extra traffic to your site.

You’re probably thinking that the traffic production will be limited, at best.  And you’re right.  An email signature isn’t going to lead to any server overloads.

Over time, however, it’s significant.  Think about how many emails you’ve sent out in the last several years.  What if you would have spent those five seconds fixing up your email signature back then?

How many sales did you miss?  How many new clients did you accidentally avoid.

Five seconds.  That’s all it takes.  And in the long run, it does matter.

Put your link in your email signature right away.

How many emails do you send each day? If you’re like the average person who uses a computer on a daily basis, you may send or receive up to 100 messages a day. That’s a lot of opportunities to share your website! If you haven’t added a direct link to your site in your email signature, you are missing out on a lot of free publicity.

You may think that the people you communicate with wouldn’t be interested in your site. Some people don’t include a link because they think it is the equivalent of spamming someone. This may at one time have been seen as so, but it is common now for business emails to have signatures with not only website addresses, but with addresses for social networking profiles and more!

Take advantage of the emails you send every day by taking the time to set up an email signature. It’s easy. With most email programs, you can input your information in the “settings” and you’re ready to go. Not all email platforms will allow HTML sigs, so in this case you may need a free signature program such as WiseStamp. These programs will automatically insert your email sigs each time you open your mail to compose a new message.
