You can also write a small signature of 4 to 5 lines that can and must include your company name, contact address, phone and fax numbers, email address, website URL and your slogan. This way every email that goes out from you will carry your message and complete contact details and will generate more traffic to your web site. Generating Traffic From Search Engines We all know that most of web traffic is routed through Search Engines. But, all search engines list not all sites and it takes anywhere between 8 to 12 weeks for listing. There are many services that provide Free submission to search engines and shockingly enough we found that most of our members have not even taken benefit of Free site submission tool provided to them. The Search Engines do not know existence of your website unless you submit it to them and unless you submit it to them they will not index your web site even if you made a very classy web site. Let us take simile a little further. You will find that Financial Giants and Corporates in USA would want their offices to be near Wall Street or in Manhattan area in New York. Similarly, other industries or trades would like to have their office or establishment in proximity of area where similar units are existing or wholesale market for that commodity is situated. Why does this happen? People know that when a prospective buyer wants to buy something he will come to main market for that commodity and if you are located right in front of his or her eyes, client might visit you. The same principle applies in listing with search engines also. If some one searches for your products, he might be presented with search results that contain a link to your web site only if you have submitted your site to search engines, otherwise you will never be found. And, it is said that if you are away from sight, you are forgotten. So, start printing your full contact details including URL and email id on everything that goes out of your office and you will start building traffic to your web site. To summarize your web site URL and email address must be included in all of following: 1.Letterheads 2.Envelopes 3.Visiting Cards 4.Invoices 5.Delivery Notes 6.Thank You Notes 7.Press Advertisements 8.Press Releases 9.Brochures 10.Price-lists 11.Email Signature Lines I hope this starts bringing some very well targeted traffic to your web site. Happy Online Marketing!

says it will be necessary to develop new mathematical properties to fully understand their distribution. First of all, what is a prime number? A prime number is an integer greater than one which can be divided only by one and itself. One, two and three are primes. Four isn't, because it is divisible by two. Five and seven are primes, while six (divisible by two and three), eight (divisible by four and two) and nine (divisible by three) are not. Prime numbers play an extremely important role in mathematics and are used in numerous calculations (most known are factoring, greatest common divisor, linear equation solving, etc.). But perhaps most important quality of prime numbers is simplest one: any number grater than one may be written as a product of prime numbers. But their real importance for computer world became evident around 1977, when R.L. Rivest, A. Shamir, and L. Adleman discovered a way to encode messages in such a way that code would be almost impossible to break even if method of encoding was public, i.e. known to everybody. In very simple terms, if you have a secret code (number), and it is written as a product of two prime numbers, then you can make public method of encoding, and number (public key), while the factor is kept secret. Sound familiar? Remember PGP? So, how secure would be such an arrangement? It would be easy to generate a prime number of about 120 digits, as it would take only about 90 comparisons using modern algorithms. Generate another prime number of 130 digits, and you would end up with a key of 250 digits which would be security code. Prof. Donald E. Knuth in "The Art of Computer Programming" Vol.II page 388 analyzes how long would it take to break such a security code. If we knew of a method to find factors of a 250 digit number in one tenths of a microsecond (which is what FLOPS term is all about), we would need about 10 to power of 25 microseconds (that's a big number of microseconds: one followed by twenty five zeroes) to find all comparisons. As there is only 1,556,952,000,000 microseconds in a year we would need more than 3 x 10 to power of 11 [300,000,000,000] years of CPU time to find answer. If there were a government agency which would try to decode message, and it purchased ten billion computers and set them all to work on such a problem, it would still take them 31 years to crack security code into factors. So if you published security code (public key) and also method of encoding, but kept secret one of factors you would still be pretty secured. Understand why all fuss about PGP (which stands for Pretty good privacy)? Understand importance of prime numbers? So, old lady is getting a new fresh look. It seems far more interesting than lottery style sweepstakes. The participant seems to control his chances, and cost for over 1000 buyers is even less than regular opening discount everybody gives away. We just added content, i.e. we let participants learn something new, which is what web is all about. I guess point of this article really is: you shouldn't throw away old marketing tools that worked well for so many years. You just have to make them content rich, give them a new twist.
