How do you add value to a website?

[Devon]

I'm not sure if you're just looking to add value for reselling purposes, but in my personal opinion a site that attracts me and therefore adds value to me is one that is continually updated. Also an added personal touch is a plus, for example if I respond to a post or article getting a response back in the comment section is a great way to bring me back. It shows me that the owner of the site is actually paying attention to the site and reading what I wrote. People who feel appreciated tend to want to buy things from you or follow your advice about certain things more often. Just something I have found.

Thanks, Devon, I hear what you're saying

If you like it, post your comments in here please to tease the lurkers

... and motivate the chaps on the lower rungs of the ladder.

That's the next stage. Plenty of otherwise reasonable-looking sites have comments that are clearly not moderated. I've seen WP sites that are obviously not even running Akismet.
