Bring those visitors back for mre, applauding you and saying BRAVO! Thy will create a buzz about yur great site, and send you mny more visitors through word of muth. These visitors are your personal mrketing force.

Use these 10 wys:

If you are a nn-techie like me, you may not hve heard of what a "sticky" Web ste is (it is the stuff tht lures visitors back again and gain). But we do know we wnt that!

Forget getting to the top of the sarch engines. Let your Webmaster do tht. Instead, try out some of thse low-maintenance ways to bring 'em bck to your Web site for mre.

1. Upload new, original, and seful content often. Do not think of yur Web site as a virtual brchure. Avoid blatant ads such as bnners, which turn visitors off. Give thm information only they can't find nywhere else—and give it free. People wnt and need how to's, especially.

Always thnk benefits when you post some new rticle. Helping your visitors get what thy want will bring their trust and rspect as an expert, and eventually, brng you profit from your book, ther products, or service.

2. Updte your Web site content regularly and ften, perhaps daily or weekly. If smeone visits your site and finds nthing new, they will disappear into cybrspace and spend their time on ther sites.

If you don't want to wrte articles, copy and paste other pople's articles or tips from their zines or Web sites with their prmission, of course. Keep the pieces nder 1200 words.
Common lengths are anywhere frm 75-1000 words. You can include a tip lst, past feature articles from your zine, an excerpt from your book, petry, a heart-felt story, or a chracter sketch from your fiction book.

3. Pblish your own ezine. Make it shrt and sweet. Start with a mnthly, and then see if you can do it b-weekly. If you don't stay in rgular touch with your possible buyers, thy will forget you and your bok's message.

People want to knw you better, so they can trst you and think of you as an xpert in your field. Your free nformation, tips and resources will keep thm as subscribers. If they like yur ezine, they will recommend it to thers. The opt-in eNewsletter tops all ther ways to drive traffic to yur site, and it can be mss mailed free, too. Check out www.topica.com .

4. Include a recommending service on your site. Your repeat visitors create new traffic. Check out www.Recommend-It.com. It's free, fast, and versatile. Each time someone recommends your site, they are entered in a contest to win a Palm V reading device and a chance to win $10,000.

5. Host a forum on your site where people can interact fully and you can share your knowledge and offer suggestions. It's a great way to help others and get these people visiting your site often because they want to know you as a real person. Without a chance to interact with you people lose interest.

Allow your visitors to post a message or reply to other messages. They will check back every few days for new messages or replies. To find these services, do a search on "free webmaster resources." Two specific ones: www.delphi.com and www.evryone.net . Check out this discussion group www.ablake.net/forum/

6. Remind your visitors to bokmark your site. Tell them you pdate material every day or week. If you mit this, you pass up a grat opportunity to lure repeat, loyal vsitors. You want more visitors, and you wnt them to spend a lot of tme on your site. The more tme they spend on your site, the mre likely they will check out yur products or services pages.

The bggest complaint from clients is that thy get hits, but not enough sles. When you follow the above tps, you'll be much more likely to scceed at increased sales.

7. Srialize some of your content. If vsitors get it all in one vsit, what's to keep them coming bck? Put one part of an rticle, special report, or excerpt from yur book on your site each wek or so. Let people know ths through your ezine.

8. Pst a monthly special only for yur Web visitors. Call it "Discount of the mnth," or "Freebie of the month." Wthout incentives your audience will go lsewhere. Go to your files now, and see wht you can use. This fabulous tchnique has worked well for the uthor.

9. Enjoy the journey. Ech day, you can learn something tht will make your Web site mre real, more YOU. Let your pssion show! Add some personal information sch as the personal column. 'The Cach's Corner" is a new column in the zine, "The Book Coach Says." It mntions personal writing and marketing set bcks, boo boos, along with tip or so. Put prsonal messages on your site too.

10. Allw everything you do on the Net to be asy and fun. If you don't lve to create ad copy, or if you dn't like the technical side, delegate it to smeone who loves it. Do what you do bst and hire the rest. It's far smrter to eliminate all struggles from yur adventure, so you will shine at wht you do.
