Increase your Revenue: Make your visitor Stay longer on your site.

According to a leading web site, an average visitor spends about 3 hour per visit on site he lands through yahoo search engine. It is indeed an uphill task for any web master to retain visitor interest for so long. Need less to say; the longer a visitor stays with you, the greater is reason to believe that he is a convinced visitor.
As a webmaster it is imperative to understand and study the behavior of visitor as to which pages does he visit and how much time does he spend. The shorter the visit, the clearer it is that your site is not meeting the needs of the visitor for some reason.
Concentrating on following areas would increase the visitor satisfaction and ensure that they stay longer on your web site.

Have Original and Valuable Material
Content rules. The content should have all the information about your product, services, field of study, industry, user experiences, forum where user share their experiences etc. The more the valuable the information, the more your visitors would have reason to remain on your website and fulfill their needs. Where a user can have all the information that he is looking for, he would have no reason to go some where else and more chances of his coming to your site as repeat visitor. The original, authentic and exhaustive content will improve your perceived level of authority in your field and the relevant content is a great search engine optimization tool too.
Incentives for visiting your site
You may have any amount of information; chances that all your visitors would be satisfied are rather remote and more of fantasy. It is very difficult to perceive requirements of all users that visit our site. For addressal of some of their queries, users would love to have on line interaction. In fact this is the reason why forums on any subject are a quick success. There are various types of incentives that can be offered. If your site is newly launched, you could be offering them incentive to spot a bug or suggest some improvements. If you have running and updated site, you can offer some points to the visitors, which could be graded for different actions. These points can be later redeemed for a gift. Incentives are not always financial. Some webmasters offer to hand submit your site in return for your pointing a bug or some thing. You can also offer users some tools or e-books, that can assist your customer acquisition strategies like surveys or polls. This can give you great insights into your potential customer base; and furthermore help you build a prospect list.
Fast loading Site.
No user would repeat a visit to a site which takes ages to load. Your site programming or hosting has to be perfect in this regard to ensure that no visitor is disappointed for this reason. Ensure your website design and hosting is optimized to ensure your pages load quickly. Online browsers are very impatient people, and they won't hesitate to go elsewhere for their needs if your site takes to long to load.
Professional and meaningful looks
Looks and theme of the site is very important. Even color combinations used are very vital to retain and attract a visitors. For example, rarely you would see a e-commerce or trade site selling hardware in a white on black combination. Keep colors of the site, keeping in mind the sensibilities or preference of the age group and region of your visitors. A site on Hindu Gods in Green would turn people away while a site in Orange or rust color on Muslim religion would not gel well with Muslim audience. People judge a site in milliseconds, so unprofessional looking websites will turn visitors away. People can to some extent forgive you for relatively poor content if designs are good.
Easy Navigation.
Site should be easy to use and navigate. Complex navigation does not gel well with most surfers. Make font gel well with type of content. A proper study of size of font and navigation would do wonders for your site. User would already under some strain looking for data; don’t burden him much by forcing him to study your navigation first. Visiting a website shouldn't be hard work. Make sure your layout, navigation and even simple things like color schemes and font sizes all work towards making the customer experience easy and enjoyable.
All this may seem obvious but studying this data would amaze you how small changes to these factors influence this key website effectiveness measure.
