As many of us do, we build a website, we go through the attempts to attract visitors and we want them to return. But are you doing that? If you’re like me you have searched on every search engine any possible way to promote your website.  I have filled out submission forms till my fingers have filled to capacity up. I have looked at link farms; long boring articles on SEO, I even have articles sent to my inbox everyday in hopes of finding the next “new” way to attract visitors.

So now you have intended your site and your thoughts it looks great.  “Who wouldn’t want to visit my site?” You have all your associate set up, you have your ads (by Yahoo, Google,) and you’re prepared to start making some money. You have your swap links set up, you listed on every top list you can think of and you even paid money on some Pay per Click program in hopes of visitors. And you even have your tracking program in place so you can tell who is hitting your site and where they are hitting from.  You even know what pages on your site are well-liked.

So why are you only receiving first time visitors? Why do they only visit one page?  Why are they not returning?

If you fit in to one of those swap link programs that provides pop up, pop under,(pop up under the main page) or exit pops (as I call them, when you close your site this page appears) then you could be chasing away your visitors.

I think my self to be an above normal Internet user. I have more than a few websites that I have shaped and between them I have thousands of pages in cyber world.  I be well-known with when I click on an ad or link and all of a sudden pop ups appear out of now where I somewhat freak “like whoa!” and once I clear my screen I make a mental note not to click that button again.  Imagine how a novice surfer is going to feel.  They may never click on an ad again.  That kind defeats all of us using ads.   You will acquire hits added to your oppose but they won’t be return hits. In no way am I bashing these programs. But like any good web designer, know what tools are in your toolbox and know how and when to make use of them.
