			<description><![CDATA[One thing I think gets users to engage within a site, is to offer up a fun contest and maybe even freebies. The contest would be for something fun, like a movie or video game, while the freebies may be stickers, post cards, etc. <br />
<br />
Do you think this is a good way of marketing as well as increasing traffic to a site?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I noticed that to engage some people, it is cool to add some entertainment for the users to play with. I saw many sites with a video section, even a section for computer games/flash games. Who here has stuff like this on their site? I wonder if adding these features to a simple site, would help keep traffic at the site, what do you think?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I believe the best engagement you can have, is with your audience, and the best way of getting into contact with your audience is by social media. Would you agree or disagree? You could post your social media links on your site and reply to as many users as you want, this will show you're engaging your fans/followers. <br />
<br />
What do you think?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now, before I begin, I would like to say I'm still a noob when it comes to websites and the such, so please understand that I'm probably going to be wrong on some things. Anyways, here goes. For me, when I look at sites, I expect that site to pop out at me, show me who's boss. <br />
<br />
For one, a site needs to be pretty, but not overly pretty. I think a site that's basic in design, but pretty in overall look, is the way to go. Pretty may not be the right word, but I'm going with it. <br />
<br />
Secondly, I think a site should have limited ads, or odd placed images that have nothing to do with the content of the site. A site should have limited ads and shouldn't be crowded by stuff that doesn't work or fit the image of the site. <br />
<br />
Anyways, feel free to disagree, discuss what you feel should be added.]]></description>
