What is 3+1=? 
It has become clear that social media is becoming more and more influencial to the Google algorithm and companies need to factor this into their SEO strategies. A lot of companies and organisnations are still having trouble explaining to their management that social networking is important and now it is becoming more important than ever before.

Links from Social networks such as Twitter, public Facebook Pages and most obviously Google+ are being measured as a measure of how influencial or important a site is. Having social buttons on your pages is a good reminder for people to share your content, having these buttons can make people share it with their friends, whilst not having the buttons there may have people forget. If you content is truely amazing though, people will still manually share your content, but where possible, adding the buttons shouldn’t hurt your page’s style too much.

If your company has social networking sites, the social metrics of your pages (fans, followers etc) can also be important. Social networks themselves and active profiles on these sites can be a great way to spread news of your company without even having to make people enter your site. This is not necesarily helpful for SEO, but a way of advertising that many people in management roles fail to understand or see the importance of.

User behaviour has become so much more important than it used to be. A well optimised page or quality articles on there does not matter as much if people do not stay on your page for long. Try and make sure people stick around on your page because a high bounce rate is not good. If people stick around on your page and view lots of pages, this is more valuable than many page views with a giant bounce rate. If everyone is leaving your page quickly, your page probably isn’t what they wanted. If the page isn’t what they wanted or doesn’t appear to be what they wanted, Google will penalise your site’s ranking. You also won’t get any social shares from people who do not stick around or have any interest in your page.

Is there a business or enterprise that doesn’t look for assured customers? Assured (regular) customers keep the business (especially if it’s new) running, supplying that vital amount of oxygen to stay afloat.
Why should websites be any different?
For websites, rather web services, returning customers take on the role of elixir – a panacea; cure-all; sovereign remedy!
If your website is sticky, go on and pat yourself on your back!
What is a STICKY website?
It is a website or a web service that sticks – in your users’ mind! Yeah, the one that makes them transfixed, the one they can’t do without, and more importantly – one they keep coming back to, without you trying to woo them heavily through advertising!
Yeah, “return visits”; “traction” – these terms sound familiar, right? “Sticky” is another addition to this family of jargons that represents your website’s magnetic appeal!
Who needs a sticky website?
Rather, who doesn’t?!
From the old world information portals to the revolutionary search engines to the new age 2.0 websites – every website is driven by the traffic it generates, the number of hits generated and ofcourse, the number of return hits. These parameters not only dictate the site’s popularity, but also attract advertisers and sponsored content to keep the proverbial cash registers ringing!
Sticky websites are especially important for those several start ups (think of all the sites in their BETA versions) that do not have a product quite ready for the big stage, but still require a steady stream of visitors to keep the fires burning.
Got it! What makes a website sticky?
It’s all very well to say you need a sticky website, but what really makes it stickle users and make them come back – again and again? Here are a few tips.
Strive for a high usability index – small tricks do make a difference!
Is your site easy to navigate? Do users find what they are looking for in a jiffy? If the answer to these questions is in the affirmative, you are on track to stickle your users. However, if the answer’s a “no”, then you need to pull up your socks and get your act together before your site wears a deserted look.
People love sites that are easy to navigate, where they can find what they are looking for easily, in the least number of clicks.
Strike the right chord with your audience
Get real – not all of the online community will visit your site. Make sure you identify your audience well and then add features that they can relate to. Choose the right mix of colours, graphics and functionality to entice them to keep coming back to you!
Get them involved!
Your website should make your users feel at home. So, give them a platform where they can feel they are lounging in their living room whilst on your site! Give them tools; give them functionalities, so that they can have their own good time. Providing users a forum to interact with other users by way of blogs, networking, sharing et al will go a long way in getting the users involved.
Listen to what they say. And ACT!
Your website WILL generate some feedback from the users. You need to know where to look for it, and once you know that, you also need to act on it. Try and fulfill your traffic’s wishes – if you don’t, someone else will. Keep making new additions. In a nutshell, make the place lively and full of action!
Stick to these tricks and watch users stick to your website!

Many marketers and financial site planners complain about the fact that their website visitors do not provide their details, or visit areas that lead to sale conversion on the site. Experts say that it is the lack of a well designed web path that leads to a low conversion ratio.
Below are the few quick tips to capture more leads, or to influence visitors to become buyers. To maximize the conversion ratio, we divide the process in two steps:
I. Attract Online Leads:
Tell your visitors what you do, the instant they visit your website. Don’t have them guessing.
Make sure that before you request for your visitor’s contact info, your visitor is able to complete his research and make an analytical decision. If the visitor suspects that by completing the registration a sales person will call them, fill their mailbox with more junk mail, and/or send them unwanted email, the visitor may abandon the Web site.
Create a logical and helpful experience along a web path.
Include interesting content on the web pages that entice one click interaction. E.g. a small 3 – 5 line input form or 3-5 step lists of hyperlinks regarding an issue related to the visitor
Invite exploration. Make the visitors calculate their profit margin whenever a rate or product information is involved.
Improve Web Usability
i. Keep the links short. To maximize click-through rates, ensure the links are easily read and understood without effort or pause.
ii. Use bullet points next to the links. Bullet points indicate to the visitor that this item is separate from those surrounding it.
iii. Offer no more than 5 links.
iv. Avoid overwhelming visitors with too many choices.
II. Capture Qualified Leads:
Once a visitor is convinced with the usability of your product, it is essential to provide a call to action. You need to implement a comprehensive pathway strategy that can lead enquiry to sale conversion.
Adjust ‘Next Step’ according to the visitor’s captured data, so that the online visitors have a more personalized buying experience.
Place the easiest and least intimidating link first, so that visitor effortlessly clicks and validates the response. This will keep him advancing through your planned web path.
Place the most important link in the last. That’s the point of contemplation for the viewer. Here emphasize the benefits and the outcome.
Remove distractions such as sub-navigation on a page or cancel buttons
Prove what you say. Back up your claims with cold, hard, indisputable and verifiable facts
Use authentic customer testimonials, complete with first and last names. Just make sure you get your customers’ permission first.
Use segmentation to decrease the costs of fulfillment, or increase the desirability of the offer. E.g. reduce costs of fulfillment by taking online visitors to or away from the call center, or request or a call from local sales person
Make it easy for your customers to pay. And offer a variety of payment options. Remember PayPal is not the only option.
And last, but not the least, make sure you have a powerful and an high impact sales letter.
Conclusion:
By implementing the above mentioned principles, we are sure you will be able to yield best possible results out of customer intiated actions. According to experts, a decent conversion ratio is somewhere around one percent. But we suggest that you should strive to make qualified customers reach closest to the purchase funnel and achieve highest conversion ratio as possible.
