site stickiness

Are there any reliable stats for measuring how
long the average user should stay on a site?
I run four community sites with varying degrees
of "stickiness":
 http://www.agilebrain.com - 12 minutes
 http://www.qualityoexperience.org - 9 minutes
 http://www.nextslm.org - 14 minutes and
 http://www.dbazine.com - a whopping 1hr and 4 mins
(I know I don't believe this either, but it's been live
for over six months and we get the same average
from our ISP every month...)

I do understand that different topics have
different levels of stickiness. Can anyone point
me to a URL which tells me more about this stuff,
perhaps by industry or category?

Thanks- :-)
