Registration of the visitors with your site is the best way to collect any information about them as well as to interact with them. After registering them, they need to be given an user name and a password so that they can be identified the next time they visit. However, people do not wish to register unless they have a very good reason behind it. There is a need to be more stealthy in order to convince them.

Languages makes a lot of Difference
You have to present the same form that will be used for registration in a different way so that the people do not feel that they are registering. For example, on  a shopping site, using the work 'Payment Details' in place of 'Register' can make a lot of difference. Creation of a password and saving the same details for the next time should always be optional as most people do not like to leave their important details in the website's database.

Importance of Registration
Registration helps you to remember the user's information when he makes the next visit. This makes their visits and procedures on your website much quicker and easier next time. There is no need to type the information again and again. It also gives one website an edge over another as the visitor is not registered on the other one.

Learning from Amazon
Amazon.com has a very interesting way to register people. In most of the sites, there are boxes where username and password can be entered followed by a message 'Not Registered? Register now'. But Amazon asks people to enter their email and further ask them whether they have shopped before on Amazon. Those who have are prompted for their password, whereas new users are asked to enter their details. Also, it is better to let people login using their emails addresses instead of username, which they might forget.

What is Registration?
If a site has people's email address and details, and the user has a password, they can be said to be registered. It is not necessary for the entire registration process to be completed on a single day. It can be done gradually.

However, it is important to remember people for a long time as many users delete their cookies too. Hence, password should be provided only for functions where they are an absolute necessity. absolutely necessary.

Streamlining the Process
Whenever someone fills a form on your site, that it the best time to ask them to register. Ask them for a  password in the very last step of the entire form. For example, in dating sites let the user go as far as writing a message to another member and at the point ask them for the password. At this point the user will not hit the back button or go somewhere else.
