Polls enhance interactivity and "stickiness" by engaging your audience and encouraging readers to come back to your blog to read results. Whether you blog about the presidential elections just around the corner, something controversial in the news, or the latest celebrity gossip, your readers can actively participate in the discussion through polls. Chances are they'll send their friends to vote too, increasing traffic and interactivity on your site.
