![]() The key to generating repeat traffic is refreshing your content. People expect to see new things each time they return to your site. As a rule of thumb, plan on adding something new at least once a month. This is easier if you come up with a "something of the month" that you can churn out regularly. A food-oriented business, for example, could offer a recipe of the month, prepare them for the web all at once, and feed them in on a 30-day cycle. Here are some other tested ideas for generating traffic: Running a contest can improve site traffic. Some people will return every cycle to try again, other will at least check back to see if they have won. The prize doesn't have to be a big one, but make sure that you follow through on it. On the Builders Square AlamoBowl site, for example, we invited fans to vote for their favorite team. As a prize, we offered to paint the site Aggie maroon or Michigan blue, based on which team got the most votes. No cost, high traffic!
