How to keep Visitors Return Back
February 4th, 2007 at 04:18 pm by ashok in TrafficPeople often search method to find new ways to get visitors and spend maximum of their energy in bringing vistors to their site, but they miss other important thing to make a successful website i.e. to get returning visitors. Returing vistors form a major part of traffic for many successful websites. Also those sites which sell something, get maximum sale through returning visitors. I am writing a few methods which you can use to keep your visitors coming back to your site. Although there is no need for you to use all methods but using one or two methods will definately help you to making your vistors sticky.
1) Forum
Forum or discussion board is one of the most powerful tool which make a vistor to return back to your site . Forum provids a place to your visitor to voice their opinions and interact with other members of your site. As conversations build up, a sense of community will also follow and your visitors will come back to your site almost religiously every day.
2) Start a Blog
Blog is an onine journal, also called as Web Log. By writing regularly to you blog and updating it with latest news about yourself you can make the visitors sticky to your site. Blog also help in builiding up you credibility as you are proving to them that there is also a real life person behind the website.
3) Polls
Polls is another good form of interaction that you can consider adding to your site. This also provide a way for visitors to voice their opinions and to get involved in your website. Be sure to publish polls relevant to the target audience of your website to keep them interested to find out about the results.
4) Update frequently with fresh content
Regular updating of website not only helpful in good search engine postion it also help in your visitors come back, they will have something to read on your site. This is the most widely known and most effective method of attracting returning visitors.
So are you planning to use any of the above method in your website?
