I own a graphic design portal, that includes forums also. For past few months I really get some impressive traffic, and adsense paysoff too. Now, I would really appreciate if someone here have some good technique on how to drag new visitors into registering, and convert them into returning visitors, that will probably post in forums later...? how to achieve that? how to drag people to return, and post?

Thanks in advance to all.

Convering customers isn't really something that can be summed in a forum post so I'll point you to grokdotcom. I think they're the ones who really created the concept of converting online or at least are the ones who have best marketed that they did.

There's a lot of good information at the site that should be what you're looking for.

Do something new everyday, something very useful. Just restrict some activities (just one or two activities) to unregistered users. Always try to keep special, unique, extremely useful information in restricted areas. But Let everyone know what is inside.

This looks like a very informative site. Thanks for posting this link.

The site has a lot of great information. The main site is Future Now and the grokdotcom portion of the site has most of the articles. I've read all three of the books they've written and subscribe to the newlsetter and have really learned a lot.

It's not always easy to know how to incorporate their ideas, but I'm convinced it's the right approach. The focus is less on getting more traffic, but rather getting as much as you can out of the traffic you already have.

Maybe make some areas a LOGGED IN area only. Also, offer PREMIUMS
