Ever wake up one morning and think to yourself:
“Jeepers self, if only I could really entice my visitors to return again and again by the magic of personalization! But oh… that must be soooo difficult to dooooo!”
If so, gentle reader, fear not. There’s a superb article (and remember to return here after reading so you can benefit from the additional super resources I’ll be sharing) over at:

There, you get not 1, not 2 but 5(!) resources for personalizing one’s site, including:
Personalization Based on How a Visitor Arrived
The source that brought a first-time visitor to your site can play a driving role in the experience you then display. For example, if you’re a security solutions provider, did a new visitor click on an ad related to threat management to get to your site? Use that indicator of interest when personalizing the visitor’s experience.
and
Personalization Based on Where a Visitor Landed
Let’s say the first time someone visits your site, they land on a blog page (B2B) or product detail page (e-commerce). You can capitalize on their interest by prominently showcasing (“above-the-fold”) recommendations for related content and items. In essence, you’re telling your visitors, “If the item you clicked on doesn’t strike your fancy, check out the other, similar options we have available.”
and more!
I remember when customizing one’s Twitter page into a Twelcome page was big stuff – it led me to create:
