Your Efforts Can Be Better Invested Managing Your Present Visitors

How much effort have you in fact put into preparing your site for retaining traffic? If you have not put in an adequate amount of time to increasing your website’s “stickiness”, then you are wasting a lot of you selling effort.

The thing is, if you are running a website, then getting present readers to come back and read more pages is an unquestionable lifeline. And this is where retention of those visitors you do have is important. If in one day you persuade just 1% of your new site traffic to come back the next day to read your next blog and you can keep this up for 3 months you have got the equivalent of a day’s new site visitors returning daily as keen followers. Or, in other terms, you have doubled your daily visitors.

Better still, swell your web site stickiness and you possibly will without doubt double your daily page view figures in a single day!

And this is what you want as loyal visitors that keep coming back to read your site are more likely to think your product reviews and ideas and consequently more likely to buy. This increases not only the potential affiliate commissions through the website, but also the marketing worth of the website.

These regular readers are also more likely to talk about your posts and ideas to other people, thus generating a new source of new site visitors for you, another great bonus.

Regular readers are also more likely to interact with you and leave observations, begin commenting on each others comments and so on. Your web site develops a community through the regular readership, not the new visitors.

And with some monetisation schemes for blogs, it is the level of the traffic, the amount of comments posted etc that dictate the value of the website when it comes to making payments for paid posts.

What is more, the work that you put in to raise these visiting figures is permanent work. If you put in a day’s effort to convince a handful of visitors to come back and to help the rest of the visitors to find an additional page to read, then this work will be reaping benefits at least until you have a key rewrite of your site, such as putting in a new theme.

This is what is so good about working to market to the people that are already on your website. It is not like search engine optimisation and social marketing, in which your efforts last a little while and then have to be repeated. If you can induce your readers to read more, then the methods that you are applying are the sort of methods that you will be implementing to your website permanently.

The tips to get a visitor to read more pages or even be converted into a subscriber won’t take long to put in, but harvest loads of results. That’s why I think hour for hour, taking some time out to look after present visitors is far more time efficient than finding new readers.
