What is this crazy talk about how to make your website sticky? You mean pour honey or something on my computer screen?

What a shocking, expensive and insane idea!

Really, in Internet marketing jargon when some refers on how to make your website sticky it means: when someone lands on your site, grab them, hold their attention and make them want to come back again and again. You are looking for ways to get your visitors to bookmark your site and return often.

It took a lot of hard work, building web pages, deciding whether to build a niche site, affiliate or Adsense site. Then getting the traffic there to begin with was no easy task at all. You sure don't want a surfer you worked so hard to get there to look a few seconds and say to themselves "nah, nothing here. Think I will just move on to the next site"

So how you can get someone to want to return your website tomorrow and next week? One way is to make your website a place where people with the same interests hang out, and communicate with each other. This of course should be built around the theme of whatever you site is about.

There are many ways to do this including running a chat room or maybe a bulletin board. A forum is also a great way. That way they will want to come back hopefully every day or even many times a day. Your host usually makes it easy to set up something like this with little time getting it live.

Some ways to get someone to actively join your "community" circle are by telling them you are giving them the following if they join:

* List the benefits they will receive from joining.

* Have guest experts in your field regularly.

* Let them join a members only ezine that gives them the goods on special events you are planning.

* Give free offers available only to members every week, month or even every day.

* Have available, for only members, some of your best tips and time saving techniques in their niche.

This should get your thinking cap on to help you come up with other great ideas.

Search engines just absolutely adore fresh new content. Guess what... with a member involved site like this, that is happening all the time, day and night!

I hope these ideas have you fired up. Now it's your turn to burn the midnight oil and get thinking your head "I will get my website to grab casual visitors, transform then into members and have them returning to my site every day!"

Your website will soon begin to take flight.

And, as an added bonus search engines fall in love with your site.

You can't beat that with a stick. Or two!
