A lot of successful websites depend on returning visitors to account for a major part of their traffic. Returning visitors are easier to convert into paying customers because the more often they return to a site, the more trust they have in that site. The credibility issue just melts away. Hence, keep your visitors coming back to your site with the following methods:

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) Blogs are another way

By starting a blog, and using this as much as you can, you are telling the world that you actively update your site. You can find other sites to post about, or write good information for everyone. Either way, they will come back to see what the latest news is on your blog.

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) Oh How I Love Games

Games are pretty big online. Now, you don’t have to have the best games. You can just have some simple games office people can play when they are supposed to be working. Maybe even offer some prizes for top scores. Might be another good way to collect some names and emails.

5) People (and Google) like new content often

If you can keep your site updated as often as possible, people will keep coming back to see what is happening. They really do not want to miss out on anything. This is why it is extremely important for you to keep your blogs and forums updated. Just by doing one of the above items is a great way to get people coming back to your site.
