Your site's stickiness is its ability to retain visitors and bring them back again
later. Here I point out 5 great sites which offer a free service to make your
site sticky:
1. Moreover - http://w.moreover.com/ - Add stickiness to your site by adding
a Moreover webfeed. You can add news headlines to your site, no matter what
it's topic, by choosing from hundreds of topics or creating your own with their
webfeed wizard. Be your visitors' source of news!
2. CoolBoard - http://www.coolboard.com/index.cfm - Have your visitors coming
back again and again by adding a message board! CoolBoard offers free remotely
hosted message boards, making it easy to customize and add one to your site.
If you put in the effort to build a community you'll be ensured plenty of repeat
traffic to your site.
3. Atomz - http://www.atomz.com/ - Being able to search your site allows your
visitors to find what they're looking for faster. Chances are, if they can find
what they want, they'll end up browsing deeper into your site than if they couldn't
search it. Atomz offers free site searches, that look just like your site, free
for up to a 500 page site.
4. Directory - http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/links/ - A script offered
by Gossamer-Threads, Links is a great way to add a directory to your site just
like the big search engines. Offer your visitors a full directory of human-edited
links on the topic of your website and they'll think of you as their resource
and come back when they want to find something.
5. Guestbook - http://www.geekvillage.com/guest_book/index.html -
Add a free guestbook to your site and increase visitor interaction! Get them
participating by adding their comments to your guestbook, and reading the comments
of others who have posted. Increase your stickiness as they come back to review
the guestbook again.
