I try all the time to convince my clients that while being on the Internet on a website is a must, it's more important for marketing to be in people's inboxes.
Why not set up a "Tip of the Day" (or "Tip of the Week") and deliver it to subscriber's inboxes, where they can then save the tips to archives...searchable on their own systems. Also, when new tips are added, automatic email notice goes out to all subscribers with information about the tip. Why wait for them to go to the site? Take the material to them...you're traffic will pick up a lot, I'll wager, too...

Speaking just for myself (www.coldfusioncookbook.com), my philosophy behind the site is that every answer is the best. Now - I know that sounds egotistical. What I meant is, like CFLib, we try to publish what we consider best practice 100% of the time. Obviously I'm no brainiac.What I'm trying to get through is that what you see on the cookbook site would be considered best practice, at least by myself, Jeremy, and the other authors. (And again, I know the sites aren't perfect.) The cookbook site seems to almost be in stealth mode.We have over 100 entries, all available via PDF, so the content is growing, but the traffic is still a bit light. Hopefully these posts will help drive some traffic to the site. :) On 7/12/06, Mingo Hagen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Raymond Camden wrote: > > While they don't say "best", there is cffaq.com from Ben Forta and > > www.coldfusioncookbook.com from myself and Jeremy Petersen. > > > Well... this is almost exactly what i meant (I need to google better) > I do miss some stuff like I mentioned in my other mails, more geared > towards different solutions to one problem and perhaps you could add a > function (like on imdb.com) where users can say 'this tip was useful to me'. > > Mingo. > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:246268 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
