Then as you submit to each site, you can check it off on your list, writing down date submitted. You could even create another date column for when your site appears in search engine so you can gauge how long submission took to become active. It’s important that you keep track of this information so that you don’t accidentally resubmit to a search engine or directory that you’ve already covered. If you are submitting to a search engine using a paid submission option, always make note of your receipt number in case you need to follow it up. Happy submitting!

8. Readers can comment on your blog postings, which creates rapport and with readers. You can ask questions, stimulate responses by being controversial, and survey readers. It is a great way to keep your finger on pulse of what readers want. 9. You don’t have to mess with a web site, or pay a web designer to update your web site every time you have a new article or teleclass, or program or product. Blogs are user-friendly, and with a few instructions or tutorials, you can learn to use it yourself. It is less expensive than setting up your ezine in HTML. 10. Bottom line is this: using a blog and an ezine will help attract more visitors to your website, who become subscribers and who may eventually become clients. Think of World Wide Web as a big fishing pond. The more fishing lines in pond, more fish you are going to catch! You have a web site, yet it is static like an online brochure. You have an ezine, which you grow through subscription links everywhere. And now, you should have a blog, where you can attract more readers to get to know you, where they can interact with you, and maybe take your bait! Happy fishing!Patsi Krakoff, Psy.
