What is an Autoresponder Page?

The Autoresponder is a great tool that allows you to set up emails that send automatically at set intervals once a visitor signs up to receive them. This can be a good way to get a database of people interested in your site, so you can email them later with your promotional material.

Recommended Uses

• Good for sending instructions.
• Online Tutorials.
• Can be used to collect a database of emails you can send promotional material to later.

8. Editing Your Title Tag, Meta Tag and Header Info

To help with search engine ranking you can customize your title, description, and keyword tags for individual pages. Advanced users can also place code between the <head> tags. This feature is available through the editing page under 'Internet Marketing'. To learn more, please read Page Title, Meta & Head Tags.

Alternatively, you can apply the same description and keyword tags site-wide, which is great if you don't yet have time to do them for individual pages. To learn how, please read Marketing Your Site: Meta Keywords and Meta Description.
