I was aware of Bounce rate when i made my new blog. then I added Sign up option to prevent this up to some extent.. I hide the useful links. so that when a visitor need to get that, they register at my site. Why I did this? Registration takes 2 minute for a visitor. When user register at a site, his intention diverts towards site for 2 minutes, he observe the site while registration in process. Its helps him to remember the site name..and because of registration he see more than what he need to know for site. Also while registration the visitor provide their email addresses, When someone provide email address, Sometimes, Someway he attaches emotionally with website.. The reality is that many time we build relation with websites, Why it happens? We know whenever we want to search something out fingers jumped at keyboard for Google.com, why we visit sites even they dont provide required information, but we keep on browsing pages to find something usefull? Why we visit forums even though we don't need anything every time? Mostly it happens with two kind of sites. Whether with news sites or the sites having registration like forums.. So I was talking about registrations.. If your sites are having registration you can send weekly newsletters. If you dont want to send newsletters, just send ceremonial greets to your members with a beautiful card. (Dont send digital or Hi tech image as a card) Use sentimental, simple and friendly cards, Show your member that you care for them. Use members' name rather than, Hello member.. Use words like; We wait for your. You are out valuable member. We care for your membership. We miss you. A lot of new thing are waiting for you etc Why to send such mails? In case you lost your visitor even after membership. Ceremonial mails are best tools to let them recall that they are members of your site. Sometimes these mails rebuilds the relation between site and member. Must Do Add a avator option. If user upload his pic. It help to make strong relation with site. Greet at the end of registration Don't do this Dont make a long registration Process Dont ask very much details about visitor
