Got you to look anyways!!! Here’s the deal. Chris Elizabeth Griffith was blowing up my Q with her signature block. She came up with a great idea to help solve that issue. No lie I am on my 3rd Motorola Q. It seems they haven’t worked out all the issues with this one yet. Maybe the next generation will be better. Don’t get me wrong I do like it…just can be a pain in the butt.

Anyways back on topic…showing you mine. Related to her post, I am talking about my Signature Block. What do you have in your signature block. Do you use it as a marketing tool? Chris’ idea is a great one even before she trimmed it down to a http://www.tinyurl.com/ (by the way, that’s a great way to send long links…try it) She didn’t use that site but she did manage to link to a very useful landing page. Everyone has websites. People can get lost in there or bored to death. But if you have a great page with tons of local information, buyer info or seller information, why not just send that page? I am going to take her idea one step further. With most of your domains you can have what’s called a 3rd level domain. They are free and they are basically an extension of your website. Here is an example; http://gotbob4homes.com/ is my domain. Now here it is with a unique third level domain; http://sold.gotbob4homes.com/ The sold is the third level. In your domain console (I use godaddy for my domains) you can forward that third level domain to anything you want. (EDIT: my website is having issues) Don’t Follow this to the next page http://queenoflocalism.gotbob4homes.com/ It is much shorter than http://activerain.com/blogsview/192320/My-Email-Signature-Links But you get the idea!!

Why that? I want you to know it came from my PDA and it might not be as professional as you would expect. Maybe a misspelled word or not capitalized or maybe very brief.

So…What does yours look like? Why?

EDIT: I removed the shadow screen captures.
