Keeping Visitors Updated about Changes to Your Site
So you made some changes to your site. You worked hard on them from the conception to the follow-through, and you’re thrilled with the results. Well, personal satisfaction is nice, but what about all those people who have already visited your site? Will they know about all the improvements that you’ve made?
Visitors will notice the changes if you use an update notification service such as ChangeNotes or ChangeDetection.com.
ChangeNotes
ChangeNotes (www.changenotes.com) keeps track of your site and automatically e-mails your visitors whenever there’s a change. It performs this task by automatically downloading one copy of your page each day and comparing it with the copy it downloaded the day before. If the pages are the same, nothing happens. If the pages are different, the service sends an e-mail to everyone on your list of interested users.
ChangeNotes is an opt-in service, so you don’t have to worry about a spam problem. You put a link on your Web pages, and your visitors get to choose whether to receive update notices.
No matter how many times a day your site changes, your users will never receive more than one notification in 24 hours. That notice contains all the changes noted during that time.
Adding ChangeNotes to your Web pages couldn’t be much simpler. Just follow these few steps, and you’ll be up and running in no time:
