Interactive design is concerned with the behaviour of products or systems. How that product or system works and how people can interact with it. A lot of an interaction designer's time will be spent defining these behaviours.
I have found that the best definition of interactive design is given by a man called Mr Bill Verplanks. I have provided the following link if you wish to watch and listen. http://www.designinginteractions.com/interviews/BillVerplank

The great sites above share the following design features:
-Simple layout
-Centered orientation
-Design the content, not the page
-3D effects, used sparingly
-Soft, neutral background colours
-Strong colour, used sparingly
-Cute icons, used sparingly
-Plenty of white space
-Nice big text
Each site has its own creative flare on how to navigate around the website. I believe by having this creative flar on how to interactive with the website encourages the user to stay on that site for a longer periode of time, this is simply because it makes the experiance more interesting, comparing to the websites that have the standard Click Here links.
