5 Ways To Keep Visitors Coming Back

A ton of websites require returning visitors to bring back traffic. Returning visitors are easier to convince into buying your product because the more they view your site, the more they enjoy it. The credibility issue turns into trust, keeping your visitors pleased and buying! Remember these 5 methods:

1) Start a forum, chatroom or shoutbox

When you create a forum, chatroom, or shoutbox, it brings two things to the table. People will come back to your site to view these, as other users update them, and you can see who all is visiting, and enjoying, your website. these are strong tools to use to ensure that people will keep viewing your website and increase traffic flow!

2) Start a web log (blog)

Start a blog. People love reading about your day to day updates and how you are doing (look at facebook and myspace), We as people are curious, so feed our appetites! Plus it will keep them coming back for more as you write more, and it builds credibility as a person and not a bot fixing the sites.

3) Carry out polls or surveys

Everyone loves surveys! Keep polls or surveys, so the people can see what they think of your website. Remember, if they have a say in things, they will keep returning. Take into account peoples thoughts, and make the website more user-friendly. Just don\’t forget who the leader of the site is.

4) Hold puzzles, quizzes and games

Imagine how many people are bored with their jobs because they can\’t have any fun on the job. Now view your website as a job. Make sure people are kept entertained and enjoy their stay! Don\’t bore them. Keep things running smoothly, but add things that you think they\’d enjoy, such as online flash games, or a daily riddle. You\’d be surprised at how many people will come back.

5) Update frequently with fresh content

Update your site frequently with fresh content so that every time 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, but this is also the least carried out one because of the laziness of webmasters. No one will want to browse a site that looks the same over ten years, so keep your site updated with fresh bites!
