Should %%$url%%
care
about
Bing? Yes!
While Bing trails
its
dominant rival
Google, Microsoft's new search engine, launched early summer amid a barrage of advertising, is actually doing rather well. According to
Compete.com, Bing's June count of unique visitors (49.6 million) beat that of both CNN.com (28.6 million) and Twitter.com
(23 million).
So, if customers are using Bing to search online, make sure that Bing can find your site!
Click here
to submit your site to
Bing. It's easy to do, just enter your Web address and click
"submit."
And,
just
like
that,
you're
in
the
system.

The Power of Your Email Signature
So Obvious...but Don't overlook it
What appears below your name on your emails? In one study, the Georgia Institute of Technology observed a site where 35% of visitors were brought to the site via
the
signature files on email messages they received. So add your website address!
Customized signature files are a feature of most email programs (even free ones). Look under "options." Be sure to include "http://" before your Web address so a link will be created for people receiving plain text emails.
