Some years ago it was good enough if you could get visitors to your website, but as it is today you need to find ways to get visitors to stay on your website, come back for more, and tell their friends you have a website.Here is 10 proven tips for [Tag-Tec]getting repeat visitors[/Tag-Tec] to your website.
1.What are your intentions? Have a clear explanation of what your website is all about.These days, people are in a hurry.They are not going to click on links and read long pages of text just to find out what your intentions are.All websites should have an “About” page where this information can be easily found.
2.Make the navigation of your website as easy and simple as possible.This is helpful especially for first time visitors.All websites have a different design, but you should always have at least a site menu at the top and a search function near the top of the page.
3.Your content comes first! People are coming to your website for one reason, to find a solution to their problem.Your content must be helpful, easy to read and understand and most of all it must provide a solution to a problem your visitor has.Think from the visitors perspective, “What´s in it for me?”
4.Label your links clearly.If you want to link to your “About” page, name the link “About“.People are used to click on blue links, why change something that works?
5.For people to stay on your website longer, you need to make their visit as pleasant as possible.Make sure your content is easy to read by making the background white and the text black.Green text on a yellow back ground may look nice, but it is very hard to read.
6.Keep the color scheme of your website the same on all pages because clashing colors can be a major eyesore.A uniform website gives a more professional look.
7.The layout of your website has to be viewable for all screen resolutions.Too wide and too long pages can cause problems for people with bigger screen resolutions. There are many free services online where you can test how your website looks in different screen resolutions, for instance this one: http://www.yournew.com/resolution_test.cfm
8.People are extremely impatient online.If your website takes too long to load (10 seconds or more) your visitors will move on to the next site.Therefore, be careful with flash movies, music and large graphics.These will make the website load much slower and especially those with a dial-up connection are not going to wait.In this case, less graphics and special effects is more.
9.Make your website viewable for most browsers by following all HTML standards.The best place to learn about these standards is to visit a site called W3Schools.com
10.Road-test your website before publishing it, browse through it as if you are a first time visitor.By doing this you can sort out any errors and mistakes that would have been otherwise overlooked.
