These days we're learning to focus on engagement, which leads to stickiness, which leads to users spending more time on our sites. Those clients, customers and/or prospects come back more often, and they stay longer.

In marketing conference rooms all over the world, smart people are gathering, talking about engagement and how to improve the value of the site to their consumers-- as demonstrated by stickiness.
