Are you a webmaster you sends a lot of e-mail? If so, are you using an effective e-mail signature? Putting your site in your signatures of all of your outgoing e-mails can give you free promotion and will let people who you are in contact with about your site without spamming them. Does anyone have any effective tips for this? It's good to let the person receiving the e-mail know what your site is about, without overdoing it.

I'd say keep your sig line short, to the point and don't use HTML tags. Not all email programs can display them.

I have about 20 different signatures stored in Outlook. Default is the one you can see at the end of this message, but I try to target my signatures as much as possible.

If I send a message to someone who already knows my site, I might post a signature pointing to a certain product or service the recipient might be interested at.

I've just got my first domain name, and I'm hosting it at Hypermart. They forward e-mail from my site email address (anything@freesitebuilder.co.uk) to my *real* email address.

When I sign up for services, or do search engine submissions, etc, what should I put as my email address? My real email, or the site email?

I'm confused!

If they both go to the same place, I don't think it would matter. I use BigMailBox to handle forward e-mailing issues for my domain and I have a similar situation. Don't worry.
