    They Are Good Enough for Uncle Sam: How Woven Polypropylene Bags Can Serve Your Business
    Manufacturers of bulk items like grain, sand, corn, pet food, and bird seed have long been troubled with the dilemma of how best to package their product for maximum consumer appeal, while simultaneously protecting it from outside elements.

    9. If you publish a newsletter, make sure you have a link to your blog in every issue.

    10. Include a link to your blog as a standard part of all outgoing correspondence such as autoresponder sequences, sales letters, reports, white papers, etc.

    11. Print your blog URL on your business cards, brochures and flyers.

    12. Make sure you have an RSS feed URL that people can subscribe to. The acronym RSS means Rich Site Summary, or some may consider its meaning as Really Simple Syndication. It is a document type that lists updates of websites or blogs available for syndication. These RSS documents (also known as 'feeds') may be read using aggregators (news readers). RSS feeds may show headlines only or both headlines and summaries.

    To learn how news aggregators/RSS readers work, see this site: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-readers.htm

    13. Post often to keep attracting your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; include links to other blogs, articles and websites in your posts

    14. Use Trackback links when you quote or refer to other blog posts. What is TrackBack? Essentially what this does is send a message from one server to another server letting it know you have posted a reference to their post. The beauty is that a link to your blog is now included on their site.

    15. Write articles to post around the web in article directories. Include a link to your blog in the author info box (See example in our signature below).

    16. Make a commitment to blog everyday. 10 minutes a day can help increase your traffic as new content attracts search engine spiders. Put it on your calendar as a task every day at the same time.
