Stop what you’re doing and go read this blog entry from my friend Jeremy Palmer of Quit Your Day Job. That is, if you want to be successful online. If not, don’t bother.
Read the pdf too

(Jeremy is Blake?) hehe.
There are several ways that you can make your website stickier… videos, coupons, newsletters, blogs, RSS, articles, and more. It doesn’t matter which method(s) you use, you just need to understand that the common denominator is QUALITY CONTENT. Your site needs to have a clear value proposition to motivate visitors to come back.
My reasons for writing this are two-fold:
First, I’m seeing a fundamental shift in the search engine landscape, which is making it very difficult for thin affiliates to compete. I can only imagine that life is going to get harder for these sites before it gets any easier. John Reese did an excellent job explaining this phenomenon in “The Rebirth of Internet Marketing†– http://www.quityourdayjob.com/rebirth/.
