Biznik Blog

As if one major upgrade wasn’t enough (this morning we added major enhancements to Biz Talk), this afternoon we posted a second new feature: a customizable signature line that allows you to insert a link to your website in the footer of every post you make on Biznik (both in event comments and Biz Talk).

At first glance it may seem like a minor improvement, but in reality this one packs serious promotional punch: Not only will all members reading discussion posts see your URL, but equally important to those of you promoting your own sites, so will Google. Now, the more you post in Biz Talk and comment on events, the more often Google will see links to your site, which translates into increased findability for your site on Google.

To get started using this dandy feature, head to your profile, and select the “personal settings” tab. Just above your privacy settings, you’ll see a new element labled “Biznik post signature.” Here’s what it looks like:

Insert your website link, and then the text you’d like to be linked below that, like so:

This is the first of several significant new features we’re planning to release to Supporting Members by mid-October.

Up next: Promotions, which will allow anyone to post a special offer or promotion to their profile. The extra value to Supporting Members is that their promotion will be featured prominently on the member page, where many more users will see it.
