New Article : 7 Steps to Developing Effective Newsletters Online

If you have a loyal customer base, but haven't
used a regularly scheduled newsletter to communicate with then,
then its time to develop a monthly newsletter. Electronic newsletters
are a great way to share information, promote your products,
and solicit feedback from your most important customers. If you
want to develop effective newsletters, you'll need to follow
these seven proven tips for creating winning newsletters.

1. Choose a Theme.

The largest pitfall to developing an effective newsletter is
the lack of a theme. When creating newsletters on a regular
basis (ex: monthly), select a unique theme every month that
appeals to your audience. Once you have identified a theme,
be sure that your newsletter content focuses on that specific
theme throughout its content. This creates a newsletter that
is meaningful and positions your company as a meaningful source
of information.

New Article: Why Trackbacks are Useful for Blogs

We're going to go over trackbacks - what they are, how they work, why they are important to blog traffic, and how to get more trackbacks. After you've read this, you'll know practically everything there is to know about trackbacks.

What are trackbacks?

The concept of trackbacks is a bit hard to explain. So we'll use an example to explain it in the best way possible.

OK, say you see a great blog post on another person's blog and want to link to it on your blog. You could do this the old-fashioned way by manually putting a link on your site to that blog. However, if you do it this way, the person whose blog post you are linking to won't know that you are linking to them unless you tell them.�

New Article: The Power of Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a way for internet users to store, classify,
share, and search Internet bookmarks. In 2005 and 2006, social
bookmarking sites, such as del.icio.us, Diigo, Furl, Ma.gnolia,
Netvouz, and StumbleUpon became popular. Sites like reddit, Digg,
Newsvine, and the new Netscape portal apply social bookmarking
to news items. IBM even announced plans to enter the social software
market this year.

There are a variety of ways to use bookmarks to improve your
overall site popularity. What I personally like about social
bookmarks is that it's easy to do and very similar to other optimization
methods I use. The way it works is as follows: A user registers
for a social bookmarking site. They can either drag a book mark
icon onto their browser title bar or simply utilize book mark
button on various web sites. Once they have registered for an
account, they browse the internet. When the individual identifies
a web page or piece of content they want to share with others,
they bookmark it. Again, this can be done by clicking the book
mark button on their own browser or, if the content offers a
book mark option, clicking and posting. Once that content is
book marked, the bookmark site keeps a record of the book mark
and waits to see if others book mark the same content or website.
