5 Ways to Make Your Website Sticky 
By: Michael Baker
A very successful website will have many return visitors. Your goal should be to have an increasing number in this section of your traffic reports. The more times they frequent your site, the more likely they are to purchase something or tell others about it. Here are 5 things you can add to a site to make this happen"
1) Start a forum, chatroom or shoutbox
I am not sure what it is about forums, but they become addicting. People want to see what is being said, so they keep coming back to check it out. What a great way to have returning visitors to your website.
2) Get blogging today
Keep an online journal, or more commonly known as a blog, on your site and keep it updated with latest news about yourself. Human beings are curious creatures and they will keep their eyes glued to the monitor if you post fresh news frequently. You will also build up your credibility as you are proving to them that there is also a real life person behind the website.
3) Let Your Customers Take Some Surveys
You can use polls to get your customers used to clicking on stuff. The goal should be to keep them coming back and keep them clicking on things on your site. Eventually, they will find something they like and make the purchase.
4) Games are great for user activity
People at work love to mess around and goof off. And since most IT departments don't monitor the internet, people at work will find quick simple games they can play when they need a break.
5) You need new stuff every day
Have you ever showed up to a site, and nothing has been changed. You immediately leave thinking either the site is old and outdated, or it has been abandoned. Don't let this happen to your site. Ensure you are always updating your site with good now content. This, along with the other items above, are good ways to get your visitors to come back again.
