Subject: How To Keep Web-Surfers On Your Site

Last updated May 2026 · By Social Stardom

Hi {Name},

If you are familiar with Dale Carnegie's,

"How To Win Friends and Influence People"

then you are aware that if you talk less and

listen more, strangers will find you more

interesting.

This seems counter intuitive, because if

you are like me - you might think that it

is what you say, that makes you interesting.

However, most people feel this way.

So, in a world of talkers, it's the one who

listens - that is truly the rare gem.

Okay, you may ask, what does this have to

do with your web publishing business?

Only that if you allow your website to listen

as well as talk - it's likely more web surfers

will stay to linger.

Remember in my SEO report - "...the more

time people stay on your website the higher your

ranking will be in the search engines!"

To put this in practice let's look at Facebook,

as an example.

The reason one out of seven people in the

world used Facebook on the same day wasn't

because they all came to hear what the

rich, powerful, and brilliant Mark Zuckerberg

had to say...

...No, they went on Facebook because THEY

wanted to say something.

==================================

I use this example to stress the importance

of providing more interactivity with the

people who visit your website.

==================================

Allowing your visitors to leave comments

is a good start toward making people feel

as if they are heard.

However, some people shy away from

commenting at the bottom of articles

because they are afraid to get pulled

into a time consuming argument, or

being cyber bullied in the comment

string by a troll.

That is why more and more savvy site

owners are adding pop-up polls to

their websites.

==============================

Pop-up polls, which ask light, fun, easy

questions, assure anonymity and

provide access to end result statistics

- have become increasingly

popular methods for keeping eyeballs

on a website to increase SEO rankings

and foster interactivity with the public.

One way to add this level of interactivity

to any page on your website is with

Pop-Up Monkey

Pop-Up Monkey allows you to add

reliable pop-up quizzes like the ones

mentioned above - and more - to any

web page.

In fact, with Pop-Up Monkey you can add

pop-ups over pages that you don't even

own or control - without actually hacking

into the third party's website.

This additional strange feature provides

the opportunity to do things in online

publishing that defy my imagination.

Until Next Time,

PS - Next time's topic will be

"Last Chance Or Is It?"...

I hope to see you there.
