Registered Users, Subscribers & Logins: What’s the Difference?

Posted on by July 21, 2013

registerWho hasn’t sometimes been confused by these terms?  I know I have. Some sites use the terms Subscribe and Register as if they mean the same thing.  This can spread confusion and frustration among internet users.

If someone Registers on a website, they become Registered Users. Unless the site tells you that you will get some extra privilege for Registering, you will get no extra benefit from Registering.

A common reason why you might want to Register on a website, is Registering on a Forum. You usually have to Register on a Forum before you are allowed to Post questions on the Forum.

Footer areas are highly valuable Real Estate areas for websites. If you make good use of your Footer areas, It’s possible to add real value for your readers, and for yourself as well.   Many site owners don’t bother with putting anything at all in their Footer Areas.  This gives a clean look to the page, but it also misses out on potential marketing and internal navigation opportunities.

Yes, it’s true – the footer is right at the bottom of the screen, and readers are allegedly famous for not scrolling down the page more than a couple of flicks of the mouse, at most.  But…if you have written articles with great content, and great value for your readers, they will stay engaged.
