Does
your website make visitor click away… right away? Do the stay long
enough to give your site the quick once over… never to be seen again?
Do you prefer the high traffic bandwidth pulled by 20 sec auto-surfers
or a low visitor count that strolls over your website and returns
hungry for more? Discover ways today that will help prolong your
visitors stay and having them come back for more.
Visitors that come to know, like and trust your website will end up
being your customers and refer other quality visitors to your site.
Wouldn’t make sense that before spending money on advertising that
money be spent on a quality website that begins to sell itself? Start
using these tips today to make you and your customers happy. When you
finish ask yourself, “Would I stay on this website more than 20 secs…
would I come back for more?”
1. Write content that attracts all five senses. Use plenty of
adjectives. Involving all your visitors senses will cause them to focus
on your website and block out other distractions.
2. Offer a search option. Giving people the opton of searching through your website using keywords will keep them involved on your web site.
3. Present your content in story format. The desire to find out how the end of the story plays out will keep visitors reading.
4. Make Navigation Easy. Do you get frustrated when you can’t
find what you are looking for? You are not alone. If your visitors get
lost they will click to leave and never return.
5. Offer lots of activities. Keep your visitors busy with lots
of things to do. Allow them to add their link, sign your guest book,
play interactive games, submit classified ads, etc.
6. Add an “FAQ”. Offering answers to frequently asked questions
on your site will keep them on your site looking for answers rather
than taking them away to send you an email or worse… leave to visit
your competition.
7. Add Communication Exchange. Add a chat room, shout box and/or
discussion board. Visitors will stay to interact with other visitors
interested in the same subject.
8. Publish Book Directly on Site. Offer a free ebook that is
published right on your website. Interested visitors will stay on your
website to read (or come back to continue reading).
9. Give Clicking Bonuses. Offer a different bonus for various clicks. Example: “Click here for a free course!”
10. Offer Online Tools. Offer free online tools that visitors
can use right at your website. Here are some ideas: ebook compiler,
ecard creator, letter templates, form templates, search engine
submitter.
