Best advice so far in this thread is TRY NOT TO LAND!

As the aircraft sinks towards the runway, ease the stick back. The secret is to do this j-u-s-t above the runway, so when the wings run out of lift and she'll fly no more, she'll just sink-on 3-point (in a tail dragger) or onto the mains, nose high, in a trike.

Note the technique is the same for either u/c configuration. It's just that you can get away with awful technique in a trike including 3-pointers (but it won't be pretty or professional), whereas the taildragger will demand correct technique.
