10 Ways To Extend The Reach Of Your Site
Successful websites extend their reach far and wide! They build links, connections, partnerships, or use whatever means they can to extend the reach of their sites. By extending their reach, these websites create greater exposure, bringing in more targeted traffic, leads and sales. You should do the same with your site. It will greatly increase the importance of your site -- boosting name recognition and increasing your site's visibility. Lets look at a real life comparison, ever build a large patio or outdoor deck onto your house and suddenly realize you have not only doubled the floor plan but you have also changed the very nature of the house itself. Or you build a gazebo or a guest house on your property... and suddenly you and your visitors have a different view or opinion of your property. In fact, you have expanded the reach of your property by building these extensions. Think of your website in the same light -- by building simple extensions you can change how your site is viewed and judged by others; resulting in many positive benefits. Little things that are so simple to do, yet it can have far reaching implications for your site. You can, in fact, extend the reach of your site to all corners of the globe. Here are some of the best techniques for extending the reach of your site, some of these are very simple, some a little more complex: Article Writing Get one way targeted links placed all over the web by writing simple 'how to' articles on the topic or theme of your site. Extend the reach of your site by simply including your live links in the author's resource box at the end of your articles. Simple and very easy to do -- just try it! Viral Desktop Applications You can extend the reach of your site by placing links directly onto the desktops of your visitors by offering them simple desktop applications like wallpaper, software programs, or ecalendars, like the DATEwise desktop eCalendar (see below). These are great for building brand recognition. Old Fashion Link Building Finding related websites and asking for reciprocal links is still one of the best ways to extend your site. Takes a bit of hard work but it pays off big time. And don't forget about testimonials, simple little recommendations about a site or product, these can be great link building opportunities. Bookmarks Make sure you have a bookmark link on all your pages. You might also want to make a favicon, a small logo that goes with your bookmarks. And subtly ask those who bookmark your site to place a shortcut on their desktops. Ezine or Newsletter You can reach and keep reaching your site's visitors by building your own opt-in list newsletter or ezine. Broaden the scope of your site by offering diverse information in these publications. Viral eBooks and Reports These can be simple 'how-to' ebooks on topics related to your site. Include links to your website and build name recognition as well as tageted traffic. Forum Posting Becoming a regular poster on all the online forums will give your site greater exposure and build site or brand recognition. More importantly, if you offer helpful and well informed information your site will acquire a resident expert -- you! Off-line Advertising Placing your site's logo or URL in off-line places, billboards, t-shirts, caps, but try to resist the latest trend -- putting URLs on body parts! Off-line exposure will greatly extend the reach of your site. Burning CDs Burning your best programs or information on CDs, DVDs or disks and distributing these around to all interested parties will create more recognition.

Other webmasters will take your syndicated RSS feeds and place them on their sites. You create mini satellite sites of your content all over the web!
