How long do people stay on your site when they get there?

Getting traffic to your website is only half of the battle. The other half is getting them to stay long enough to complete a positive action which in most cases is to generate a sale.

Do you use any type of site statistic tracking on your site? If not we can have one installed for you which will tell you how your site is doing and will set up bench marks

There are positive responses you should look for and examples of a positive response would be subscribing to your newsletter, clicking on a pay per click ad, filling out a lead form, bookmarking your site, subscribing to your RSS feed if you have a blog, going to another page on your site, buying something, contacting you by email for more information, and so on.

These are all things that someone could do while they're on your site that would be considered a positive response. This also increases the amount of time that they spend on your site.

Okay here are the 9 ways to increase how long they stay.

1. Offer only fresh content. If your content is interesting a person will spend more time reading it.

2. Make your site interesting by adding video, audio, graphics, and so on to liven it up a little bit.

3. Remind your visitors they can print out content on your website. While it's printing it gives them an opportunity to look at other things on your site.

4. Encourage visitors to participate in a survey in exchange for a free gift. Once they complete the survey send them to another page on your site where they can access the freebie.

5. As opposed to sending your visitors to affiliate web pages, create a file with a redirect name to another page of your own. You will get credit for another page view and the time a person spends on your site will increase.

6. Pay attention to how fast your site loads. If your pages are not loading fast consider what is slowing them down and change it.

7. Make sure your website is professional in every way. This includes the text that you are using on your pages. You should use proper grammar and spelling as that will make your site look professional.

8. Brand yourself in every way so that as a visitor goes from one page to the next they always feel like they are still on your site.

9. Try to be unique and come up with content that supports it. There are millions of sites out there, how are you different?

These are 9 ways increase how long a visitor stays on your site. By keeping your visitors around longer you increase the odds of having a positive response from more of them and thus will be more successful.
