Make Your Site "Sticky"
by Dan Grossman
Making your site "sticky" simply means creating a site that keeps the visitor
within the site as long as possible and getting them to return often. Making YOUR
site "sticky" involves some extra work on your part, but drawing in traffic and
keeping it at your site IS your goal, right? Here are a few things you can do to do
just that:

=> ADD NEWS AND WEBFEEDS
This is a simple way to keep your content ALWAYS fresh! Through the wonders of
JavaScript, these services allow you to add news headlines and content directly to
your site. You can customize it to fit right in with your existing content, and the
headlines update themselves automatically:
* http://www.moreover.com
* http://www.isyndicate.com
=> BUILD A COMMUNITY WITHIN YOUR SITE
This may be one of the more challenging methods of generating return visits, but
it's well worth it if you're successful. Build a community by offering a forum or
message board on a topic your visitors are interested in. Getting them started is
hard, but once you've got it going, people will return to check if anybody has
responded to their posts or to read the latest threads. You can easily run one,
whether you have CGI and Perl access on your web host or if you'd rather have a
remotely hosted message board:
* http://www.infopop.com
* http://www.everyone.net
If you can successfully make your site "sticky" enough to bring your visitors back
to your site repeatedly, you're guaranteed success!
