-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Local Search Maps.Google.Com
If you do business in your local market, you want to make sure your business shows up in local search results.
For example, go to Google and search for: Gainesville Dance
Near the top of the search results on the left side is a listing of local dance businesses.
To get your business listed here, you need to let Google know where your business is located.
Go to http://maps.google.com
On the left side, click the link to add your business and follow the instructions.
That will get you in the game, at least.
-----------------------------------------------------------
2. Twitter Signup
You probably have heard of Twitter, but you may not be using Twitter yet.
Twitter lets you send messages of 140 characters.
This is not much, but it is enough to post a link.
Twitter is called a micro blogging service and there are plenty of copycats.
You might wonder what good is Twitter? Well people are finding all kinds of uses for it. See this page for some websites.
www.internethandholding.com/Member/LinksWebsitesReference/LinksTwitter.aspx
I do not know what you are going to use Twitter for, but I suggest you get a good account name (while you still can) and start checking it out.
While you are at it, follow Internet Handholding by going to this link and clicking the follow icon.

3. DotNetNuke Store and Survey
DotNetNuke comes with both Store and Survey modules. I installed them on a couple of customers and they look good.
Take a look at the DotNetNuke Survey here. This customer created the survey himself with no help from me.
www.dgaffney.com/Home/Survey.aspx
You can see the DotNetNuke Store here. I set this up for the customer, but it was easy enough for anyone to add products.
www.verajoffe.com/Store/tabid/479/CategoryID/1/Default.aspx
Also take a look at here Articles page. She posted these herself. Somehow she figured out how to get the images in there also. Congratulations. You can she is already getting visitors without any other publicity.

4. Aweber Email Marketing List
I have switched my email service to Aweber and like it a lot.
They have a nice wizard for setting up Subscribe Forms. This has a lot of uses, but too technical for this article.
You can set up a series of messages to automatically go to new subscribers. These are called autoresponders.
If you subscribe to this Internet Handholding newsletter, you will automatically receive one short tip every week or so in addition to the newsletter. This is a great way to catch people up who missed earlier newsletters.
Click here to check out Aweber.
Constant Contact is also good, but does not have autoresponders.

How to Add an Aweber Form to DotNeNuke and Asp.Net Pages
Wrote an article on how to add an Aweber.com form to DotNetNuke and Asp.net web pages.
How to Break out of an IFRAME from a FORM in a SCRIPT
Wrote an article about how to break out of an IFRAME when using a script from someone else.
This gives you the javascript code to add the target="_blank" tag to the FORM in the other websites code.
Useful for DotNetNuke and Asp.net in particular.

Hello Business Website Customers, Associates and Friends,
If you are receiving this for the first time, I may have added you to
this list as way to stay in touch and because I thought you might find
something useful. If you do not want to receive this newsletter, reply
to this email with "dns" (do not send) in the subject.
Would like to help your website get found. Have added a new section to
the newsletter to feature your websites. If you would like your website
featured, let me know. This newsletter gets posted online in a couple
of places. By featuring your website, you get a couple of one-way links
back to your website that should help your search rankings.
Since this summer, I have been moving my websites and my customers
to DotNetNuke and I am more and more pleased with this product. We
recently implemented the forum module for a customer and it is great.
Have added a forum to the www.InternetHandholding.com website so you
can see how the module works. Feel free to post anything you like there.
When you post, always include a link back to your website to help your
search engine rankings.
You can see a couple of DotNetNuke websites I stumbled across here.
www.fortsmithmoms.com - Fort Smith Moms club

Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

1. Article: Write, Write, Write
There is no accounting for taste when it comes to Google.
When I was in high school and college, I avoided every class
that required my writing papers. Maybe it was only my aversion
to homework, because somewhere along the way I became a writer.
I found myself writing journals at home and procedure documents
at work, which has turned out to be a useful Internet skill.
Nobody bothered to read what I wrote, but that does not matter
to Google. Google is only interested in quantity of keywords.
Google will read everything you write, index every keyword and
possibly show a link to your page to applicable searches.
If you want to get found, write a lot of keywords.
-----------------------------------------------------------
2. Article: DotNetNuke Tip - Use the Articles Module and Categories
The articles module in DotNetNuke is convenient for publishing
your writings on your website.
You can go into the Administrator Options and set up categories,
which should help with keywords for searches.
As frequently as you are able, write something. Use keywords in
the title, because the articles module is SEO friendly and will
use the keywords in the page url, which helps your page get found.
Write something useful for your audience. Share your expertise.
You can add value for your existing customers and maybe someone
new will come across your writings.
-----------------------------------------------------------
3. Article: Massive Link Building to Grow Traffic
If you want to get more visitors to your website, your should
plan on link building. Ten or twenty links is not enough. You
should expect to get hundreds of incoming links.
First go to the Google keyword tool here.
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordTool
Find a list of keywords that you want to target.
Use the Exact Match criteria.
It is best if the keywords are in your domain name.
You then need to create your page content around the keywords.
When you create links, include the keywords in your incoming
linking text.
You can read a little about getting incoming links through Social Bookmarking
and directories on this page.
www.internethandholding.com/Members/LinkBuildingandBookmarking.aspx
If you are a member in www.InternetHandholding.com you can
find there a list of many bookmarking websites and directories.
The more places you place links back to your website the better.
For starters, submit your website to these directories:
www.bing.com
www.dmoz.com
www.google.com
www.yahoo.com
Sign up for accounts and post bookmarks to your website at some of these:
www.delicious.com
www.digg.com
www.faves.com
www.stumbleupon.com
Exchange links with other websites that have a similar audience.
Below are two sample emails.
You can see, one of the nice things about having keywords in
the domain name is those keywords are automatically included
in the link.
--------------------------------
Sample 1 - Wait for them to reply before adding their link
--------------------------------
