A blog can greatlyincrease the personal touch of your web site. And yourvisitors are more likely to come back.

2. Start a forum

An active discussion forum may be all that you need toattract repeat visitors to your web site. You'll generallyget two types of visitors to your active forum. a) One whoseeks help and b) one who provides help. If your forum isactive with these two types of visitors, you can almostguarantee repeat (as well as new) visits for many times tocome.

3. Provide a free useful tool

Every one loves free stuffs. Try and provide a free onlinetool, that's hosted on your web site of course.If your toolis very useful to your visitors, they will come again andagain to use this tool. Example of tools include a bannercreator, web site popularity checker, or html generator etc.
