My instructors advice was to reduce power, flare just above the runway, keep eyes looking ahead to end of runway, and then as it sinks, keep pulling back just enough to keep it flying, then when it sinks a bit more, pull back a little further, etc. etc. Basically his advice is to try and keep the thing in the air as long as possible until it settles itself on the mains with the stall warner just starting to sound.

The "try and keep the aircraft flying" rather than "force it unto the runway" advice certainly helped me in getting my landings to start to "click."
