Focus is a huge thing. Once you lose it, it is almost impossible to get back, most times they just click away. However, if you keep their focus, you can guide it wherever you want on your site!</description>

Not sure who linked to it. Might have been bryan. This reminds me a great deal of the &quot;nobody wants to read your s#%$&quot;. Honestly that article changed the way I am doing write, people really don&#039;t have the time we think they do. They just skim, if we are lucky!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s really easy to overload users with information. This is particularly tragic from a marketing side of things as users will be busy looking for info rather than taking the preferred buying action.</description>

		<description>Agree. We should only see what we want to achieve form a particular page and keep customer focused about what you want to achieve.</description>

		<description>I think we all could take a lesson from In-n-Out burger.  They have like a grand total of 5 options to choose from.  That&#039;s it!  Good and simple product = winning relationship between vendor and customer.</description>

		<description>I want an application that people can use to help rid their site from information overload by creating site maps. but I don&#039;t think there really is one out there. There&#039;s a few that I&#039;ve seen, but they&#039;re not that usable (In fact they have information overload)</description>

		<description>Good suggestions, Brendan.  I would add that one of the ways to avoid creating a webpage that causes &quot;information overload&quot; is to include only the facts.  

Visitors really don&#039;t want to read all the generic fluff often seen on corporate websites such as &quot;We&#039;re committed to quality&quot; and &quot;Our mission is to provide great service.&quot;  That&#039;s all well and good, but how about telling us exactly how you ensure quality in your product, such as what materials you use and what processes make your product superior to the competitions.  And for service, tell us about the specific steps you take to answer our questions and respond to any problems after the sale.  

The proof is in the details.  The facts are far more persuasive than the typical corporate rhetoric.  And even though including that data may result in more lengthy page content, it&#039;s precisely the information your visitor needs to make an educated decision.</description>

		<description>Very true! It&#039;s almost every website should have another link with: &quot;to get to the point click here&quot;. I rarely comment on blogs, however I enjoyed this article so much that when I saw that it is your first post, I figured you may want to know that it&#039;s good stuff, lots of practical information in a short post. Your point exactly.</description>
