Since 2004, I have been playing around with different concepts to make my websites succeed in the worldwide web. I believe I finally found a simple style which has produced fantastic results. Its all a matter of combining different little tools. Websurfers looking for information dont want to just read about their subject. They want to watch videos, see photos, find relevant alternative information and find products relevant to the subject. If you combine all this in a page, you will have seduced your site-visitors to prolong their visit to your site, and become return visitors. The key to my site's success is also the simple, yet robust search engine i prominently feature in the header of my site. Its producing fantastic results and proves my visitors are addicted to the site. And this particular site is only 4 months old. My young blog : is rising rapidly in Alexa. receives an average of 20 pageviews per unique visitor. has had 170,000 searches conducted by my visitors. receives 90% of its traffic from search engines directly. posts in my archive continue to receive daily readers. 8 in 10 of my visitors click on my ads. I have written an article about how I did this in my site. Your feedback is most welcome.
Do you also give away stuff if people join your mailing list and use autoresponders to follow up? This will bring people back who don't remember your url.
