.....THIS WEEK'S ARTICLE.....
Innovative Marketing Ideas
==========================
Both Microsoft and Netscape provide you with little-known tools
to build traffic to your site using either their Portal or
Browser in some way. Please read the information below carefully
in order to get everything working correctly, if you decide to
implement these ideas on your site, as I have done.
EASY BOOKMARKING
The below code will allow visitors using Internet Explorer 4 or 5
to easily add your site to their Favourites list by clicking on a
link. Here's the code for creating that link:
Just copy, and paste the code above where you want the link to
appear. Alternatively, you can specify the title and URL that you
want bookmarked, without having the script pull the information
from your page (as the script above does). To do that simply use
the code below:
====================================================
!!! BOOST YOUR WEBSITE TRAFFIC TO AMAZING LEVELS !!!
Visit GetHits, the number one source for website
submission! To submit your site to up to 500 search
engines and directories, go to this URL:
http://www.addme.com/gethits <- Click Here!
====================================================
All you have to do to get the script above working is to replace
the Webmaster-Resources.com URL with yours, and "Free Webmaster
Resources" with the title that you want to appear in your
visitors Favourites list. Place the code above within the
tags. To call the script, place the following code on
your page where you want the link to appear:
Note: You'll need to copy and paste the document.write line, and
the line that begins with "Click here to..." into one.
The JavaScript code above will make the link appear only for
visitors using IE 4 and 5. Visitors using Netscape will see
nothing.
BE THE DEFAULT
The code below will only work in Internet Explorer 5, and will
allow your visitors to set your homepage as their default when
they open your browser simply by clicking on the link that
the code below generates.
Click here to
make Webmaster Resources your default homepage
Note: Copy and paste the code above onto ONE line; otherwise it
may not work. Substitute the URL http://webmaster-resources.com
with your URL, and the words "Webmaster Resources" with your site
name.
THE NETSCAPE PORTAL AND YOU
Netscape gives you the ability to add your own channel into the
Netscape Start Page simply by having visitors click on a link on
your site.
Here's how to setup your own Netscape Channel:
1. Go to http://my.netscape.com/
2. Setup your My Netscape page if you haven't done it previously
3. On your My Netscape Page click ADD Channel, and then click
"Create a new Channel" and follow the directions.
This is a great addition to your site as:
a) Millions of people have My Netscape set up as their default
homepage, this is your chance to be one of the first things they
see every time they launch their browser
b) It allows you to stay in touch with visitors by letting them
know the latest changes to your site, and remind them to visit.
