Market your web site as a free club instead of a web site. This'll increase your repeat visitors and sales because people enjoy belonging to groups. You could have a members’ message board, give visitors' membership IDs, give them membership graphics to place on their web sites, etc.

Interact with your online customers on a regular basis. This'll show them you care about them. You could use a chat room, forum or an online message system. Always be interested in what people have to say, answer their questions, give them compliments, and take the time to talk about things other than just business, etc.

Check your web site links regularly. If people click on a link and it doesn't work, they usually won't risk wasting their time clicking on another one. For example, would you revisit a web site after two of the links you really wanted to click on didn’t work? You probably wouldn't even bookmark the site.

Give visitors a positive experience when they're at your web site. Provide them with original content and free things. They'll tell all of their friends about it. You could also persuade them to tell their friends about it by starting an affiliate program. It could pay per sale, per click or per lead.

Share customers with other businesses that have the same target audience. Offer their product to your customers if, in exchange, they do the same for you. For example, if your business is selling toys, you could cross-promote a business that sells kids’ games. You both have a similar target audience.

Filters are a very effective way of managing or getting rid of unwanted emails, but sometimes they can work too well. Instead of just filtering spam, they also filter out your legitimate email.

Some of the worst filter based systems for blocking spam are provided by your ISP. This can be a problem because these filters do not let you control which email you receive and which to filter.

These filters search for common key words and phrases like Guaranteed, free, and so on. They connect specific spam words with senders and automatically prevent those senders from sending you emails again. That can be very annoying if a friend or family member uses spam targeted words and your ISP doesn't deliver your email.

Challenge Response Filtering

This is a really cool and easy method to use for dealing with spam. What this does, is forces anybody that you have not already cleared to email you to fill out a short form or click a special link in order for their email to go through.

To prove this point, look at the results of a recent experiment. Whether you agree or disagree with the methodology, the outcome is fascinating.

An experiment was conducted with a group of mentally challenged people. Each person had the ability to listen to simple instructions and carry out a simple task. None of them could do more than one simple task at a time, but all of them were able to complete menial tasks on a computer.

The top person in the group had been taught how to copy and paste text from a Word document into a simple form on a website. Each day, he would sit down at the computer for 20 minutes, copy and paste exactly as he'd been shown and then turn off the computer. This was his "job" every single day, day-in, day-out.
