Last month’s poll ques­tion was When Did You Last Update Your Web­site and here are the results:

So just 63% of you updated your site within the last week or less — which is great. It’s impor­tant to remem­ber that in order to keep peo­ple com­ing back to your site (and your brand) you need to have fresh con­tent. Con­tact us to find out how to keep your web­site new and inter­est­ing if you’re not sure how to currently.

A quick Mon­day morn­ing quiz for you:

Q1: Do you send emails to your customers?

Q2: Do you have a web­site that you’d like your cus­tomers (or poten­tial cus­tomers) to know about?

If you answered yes to both of those ques­tions, here’s a third for the win (or FTW as the kids say):

Q3: Do you include your web­site address in your email signature?

There are a lot of peo­ple who send out emails with­out some sort of basic con­tact infor­ma­tion in their signature.

You don’t have to be too elab­o­rate or include every­thing — just pick the top 2 or 3 ways you’d like peo­ple to con­tact you or find you online and include them. I’d sug­gest at the min­i­mum include your web­site address and a phone num­ber, but your mileage may vary.

Here’s a cou­ple exam­ples from us here at YasTech:

Noth­ing too fancy — just the basics is all that is needed. But it gives your cus­tomers a way to find you with­out hav­ing to make them go hunt­ing for the phone book or on Google — and poten­tially end up find­ing your com­peti­tor in the process.

If you’re not sure how to add an auto­matic sig­na­ture to your emails, here are some links to instruc­tions for some of the more pop­u­lar email clients:

• Out­look on Windows
• Mail on Mac
• Hot­mail
• Yahoo

Of course you can also include links to any social media sites that you are active on (i.e. Twit­ter, Face­book, etc.). The key­word there is active. You don’t want to put a link to your MySpace page when you haven’t actu­ally updated it in 4 months.

Got a bet­ter idea for your email sig­na­tures? Send me an email with your sig­na­ture on dis­play and maybe we can post a roundup of some of the bet­ter ones out there.

We promise not to make all the posts on this blog video clips, but these are just too inter­est­ing to not watch. It’s a great way to get up to speed on what’s hap­pen­ing with tech­nol­ogy and social media, even if you don’t have time to be involved with it yourself.
