Free 'Mail this link to a friend' newsfeed
One of the best forms of promoting your site is 'viral' Marketing - spreading your message by allowing your existing audience to promote your site. Sheetmetalworld.com can now offer you a free way to achieve this. Simply cut and paste the two pieces of code below, making the amendment to the 'page=' part of the link to be the page you wish to refer. Once installed, users will be presented with a popup window when they click on the link. By inputting their email address and that of a friend, an email is sent out with a link to the web page specified.
To add the 'Tell a friend' plug in onto your site you will need two pieces of code - the first must appear in the HEAD section of your HTML page, and the second appears where you want the link.
Cut and Paste this code into the HEAD section of your page.
Cut and Paste this code to where you want the link to appear on your page.
This is what you will see on the page: Mail this page to a friend. You can replace the text with an image - just place the standard IMG tag inside the A HREF tag as normal.
Don't forget to modify the URL after 'page='!
The main strength of this free code over other scripts available is that this appears as a popup window - most other scripts (including CGI's) open up in a normal size window which means you either have to customize the page to match your site's design, or they may not even have the capability to be modified at all. There is also minimal branding on this free service - the email and popup pages carry the phrase 'Powered by Sheetmetalworld.com'. We do not capture and store the email addresses of people who use this service - the only 'cost' is our co-branding.
