visit regularly the site
buy regularly on the site
recommend the site to others
subscribe to the newsletter
participate in contest, survey, game, board, etc
all these at the same cost as someone else who stayed only a few seconds on the same web site !

How can I recognize a regular visitor ?

It is quite difficult to estimate precisely how many regular visitors visit a web site, at least with the current statistics software. But with a software such as Web Trends and with cookies on visitors' computers, the estimate is much more precise.

Suggestions to convert a first time visitor into a regular visitor:

provide quality content
with an attractive design
and an easy to use and to understand navigation
with a keyword targeted to the needs of the audience target
put special offers up front
for a limited time, in order to create a sense of urgency
publish a newsletter
organize a contest
build content as a TV serial
update the site very regularly
offer an email alert to let users know about new features and content
give on the home page a list of new content
manage a news section with links to news articles
manage a list of links useful to users (and not only to search engines)
and in one word, make your site feel alive !
