How To Get Visitors Through Signature (Sig) Files

A signature file is usually a few lines of text that is automatically attached to the bottom of every email you send. Virtually all email providers will let you have a sig file and if that's the case for you why not make use of it.

You decide what to put in your sig file so if you have a business, online or offline, it wouldn't hurt to mention it. Just a few lines mentioning your business name or URL, slogan if you have one, maybe a little about the business and a link, physical address or phone number.

For example my very first web site, Home Gym Review , was all about home gyms and reviews of the most popular equipment. So this is what my sig file looked like:

Another place where you should use a signature file is online forums, chatrooms and discussion groups. Usually they allow you to have a sig file which will be attached to the bottom of every post you write.

Some marketers have used this method very successfully to get highly targeted traffic. The idea is you join one or more of these online communities and become a regular contributor. Other members will begin to know you (since all your posts will carry your username) and if your posts have given the impression you are an expert they will attract visitors to your site through the link in your sig file.

So there you have it. A very simple way to attract visitors. I've had plenty of visitors and some sales come through my sig files. Try it for yourself.
