Do you know why the majority of people use the Internet?
The majority of people use the Internet to do some type of  research. In other words, to read.
Now, how can you use this knowledge to your advantage?
Simple. Give people what they want! Provide plenty of  good, quality, free content on your website and refresh it  regularly.
What's free content?
Well, free content can take on many forms, from e-books to  free advice and everything in between. However, what I'm  talking about is free content in the form of articles.
But they shouldn't be just be any kind of articles. The  articles should closely match the theme of your website. For  example, if your website's theme is about Internet  marketing, then you would have articles relating to  advertising and marketing.
If your website's theme is about computers, then you would  have articles relating to the service and maintenance of  computers, and so on and so forth.
So, where do you get free articles?
Well, you could always write your own. It's really not that  difficult. However, if you find writing your own articles  too daunting a task, there's a million places on the  Internet that can provide you with free content. Here are  just a few:

Since people rarely purchase anything the first time they  visit a website, capturing their names and e-mail addresses  will give you countless number of opportunities to keep your  name and the name of your business fresh in your customers  and prospects minds.
And don't be afraid to have a fee-based ezine or newsletter.  Remember, the true value of anything is in the eye of the  beholder!
By giving before you take, you'll put your visitors in a  much better frame of mind to receive your offer.
