This one is very quick and easy, but can save you a great deal of time if you have more than one web site, or if your web site consists of static pages rather than dynamic ones. Enough talking, let’s get into what’s involved:

For PHP:
If you use PHP on your web site, then you can include this line in your footer.txt (or equivalent file) to achieve the desired result:
Copyright © <?php echo date('Y'); ?> Your Company Name, Inc.

For ASP:
Ditto with ASP, this code will get you going.
Copyright © <%=year(date)%> Your Company Name, Inc.

Now remember, these won’t work on plain .html pages, or on a server that does not support PHP or ASP.

That’s all folks!
