The ezine should also have an unsubscribe option as well. Any visitors who do unsubscribe should be deleted from your database immediately.

You can install some free cgi scripting that enables visitors to subscribe and unsubscribe to your newsletter or ezine. Go to http://www.siteinteractive.com/subscribe/index2.html There are tutorials as well to help you installrepparttar script.

4) Offline methods of getting traffic to your site

These are just some ofrepparttar 124888 methods that you can use to get traffic to your site. There are also many offline ways as well including just talking to people you meet!!

You could design and print out some flyers to advertise your business and place them in cafe's, libraries, supermarket customer advertising boards, and even place some on car windscreens in car parks that you are passing through. I have often gone back to my car after a shopping trip and found a flyer on my car advertising a business or local event!!

Design and print out business cards. You can get some nice quality paper for printing these out on to make them look professional. Hand these to everyone you meet and leave one with a bill whenever you eat in a restaurant. Use different colour paper as well to add interest.

How about designing a car sticker and place it onrepparttar 124889 rear windscreen of your car.

Placing an ad in your local paper is a good idea and reasonably inexpensive.

Theme-based web sites - create a web site that focuses on highly targeted keywords. These should be keywords that are often searched for (high demand) but don't have too many competing web sites (low supply).
