Creating a "Sticky" Website

If you have children, sticky is not a good thing, actually it is almost always a bad thing. But when it comes to websites "sticky" is a very good thing. A "sticky" website is one which offers content that brings its visitors back again and again. This is accomplished through the use of sticky content. The real question is what constitutes sticky content?

Sticky content is information or applications not readily available else where. Sticky content can also be "community" type content that is built around the content of your website. For example, an auto dealer may sell a book of tips and tricks on getting the best deal for your used car. This in itself is not necessarily sticky content, however if the first chapter is offered to site visitors free of charge the dealer may just have something that brings people back to his site. Add community content and a sticky site is born.

Community content in the case of the car dealer may be a visitor forum that revolves around the tips and tricks behind getting the best deal for a used car. As visitors share their own tips and experiences people will return to learn the tricks others have found useful. Closely monitoring the posts on a forum of this type is crucial to maintaining the type of community you want on your site.

There are many ways of creating a "sticky" site, posting to a Blog, elearning tools and many others are all ways of distributing information that can create that sticky site we all want for our products and services.

 Free Anti Virus Protection

Most PC users already have some form of virus protection, but not all have taken advantage of the paid or free programs available to protect their computer systems.

Microsoft has released it's own free for personal use anti virus software named Microsoft Security Essentials . The website states: Microsoft Security Essentials is a free* download from Microsoft that is simple to install, easy to use, and always kept up to date so you can be assured your PC is protected by the latest technology. It’s easy to tell if your PC is secure — when you’re green, you’re good. It’s that simple.

* Your PC must run genuine Windows to install Microsoft Security Essentials.

If you are currently unprotected Microsoft Security Essentials may be worth a try.
