Use your voice mail to drive web site traffic. "I'm not in the office right now, but feel free to leave a message or visit my web site at www.___.com

Put your web site in the signature or tag-line of all your e-mail messages. Why miss the chance to market yourself?

Put your web site on your business cards, correspondence, forms, etc.

Ask new clients how they found you. Track those that find you on the web.

If you're using aol, yahoo, gmail, etc., why advertise for the other guy? Why not yourname@yoursiteaddress.com ? We can help with this.

Creatively market your site. Leave a business card with restaurant tips. Teach a free local class through your library about the real estate industry and use your web site as an example. When you sign a child's permission slip from school, or when you fill out an information card of any type, include your web site next to your name, even if there's not a space for it.

Ask other business owners to carry a link to your site on their home page. That's called an inbound link, and search engines like Google tend to rank you higher for it.
