Hey Ya’ll,

I just got a new video from my distant country relative, Cousin Jim.

He’s so mad off about the "cloners" I was bashing in the latest Friday Night Smackdown (see below) that he’s making THREATS with his GUN to anyone who clones!

Frankly, I’m shocked and not sure I can claim him as a cousin any longer.

The Ten Web Site Commandments

"What makes a good web page?"

People ask me this all the time, though they often encounter
difficulty boiling the question down to so few words.

You, like any serious website operator, want to know how to
create and maintain the best possible website that nets you
the most sales and subscribers.

The following "commandments" represent the ideals towards
which every new or existing website should aspire.

1. Thou Shalt Have Purpose
- Clearly define the site’s purpose and ensure all content,
graphics, and text tightly focus on that purpose.

Discard all extraneous or distracting material and regularly
revisit your site to ensure all changes fit with the site’s
primary purpose.

2. Thou Shalt Be Lightweight
- Use only fast-loading graphics and other elements.

If you must use large graphics use thumbnails and image
slicing to diminish the size of every file to lessen load
times.

Though the majority of surfers now carry high-speed access,
avoid any content that requires the user to download
special, non-standard "plug-ins" to view your content.

3. Thou Shalt Load Fast
- Each and every entry page on your site should weigh in
under 50-100KB total, including graphics and navigation.

Interior pages can run larger, but the "front doors" to your
site should not make surfers wait long to start interacting
with the site.

4. Thou Shalt Not Use False Code
- You should only use html or asp to create your web pages.

Never use java, xml, dhtml or other forms of code that
require a surfer to keep their browser set up "correctly" to
accommodate your page.

Unless you sell to "geeks" and "techno-nerds," this will
only lose you visitors and won’t make you any friends.

5. Thou Shalt Respect the Search Engines
- If you want search engine traffic use whole web pages that
don’t incorporate frames or large amounts of code unrelated
to your content.

Also, if you want search traffic, actively cultivate linking
relationships with related sites and operate a blog.

6. Love Thy Surfers and Visitors
- Design for "last year’s" technology so surfers using older
computers and slower connections can download your content
and use your site quickly and easily.

Designing for the "bleeding edge" will only cut into your
own profits.

7. Thou Shalt Not Annoy
- Use only stationary text and graphical layout elements.

No Scrolling text, marquees, or large Flash animations of
any kind, including those annoying, full-page Flash home
pages that say "Skip Intro."

This "eye candy" rarely adds to a site’s main purpose and
often causes your visitors to miss something or leave in
frustration.

8. Thou Shalt Not Scroll Sideways
- Design your pages so they never force a visitor to scroll
left or right no matter what the resolution settings on
their monitor.

Sites that read "best viewed at 1024 x 768" really say "look
at it my way because I don’t care about your preferences or
limitations."

9. Thou Shalt Stay Consistent
- Include a standard navigational structure on every page.

Though it may mean a serious challenge for the designer,
users should only need to click once to find every major
section of a site.

This includes using standard link colors in all text links.
Blue: hyperlink; Purple: visited hyperlink; Red: active
hyperlink.

10. Thou Shalt Cultivate Subscribers
- Nothing floods your website with targeted traffic like
sending an email message to your loyal subscriber base.

Whether for a new product launch, affiliate product
endorsement, or holiday sale, that list represents your most
valuable online business asset.

Make sure your website actively cultivates subscribers by
giving them multiple opportunities to sign up and a
compelling reason or incentive to do so.

Then, make it worth their while to pay attention to you on a
regular basis.

Whether you’re a home-based business owner or CEO of a
billion-dollar e-business empire, these "commandments" will
guide you to eternal ecommerce happiness and prosperity.

If I hadn’t experienced it, I wouldn’t have believed it!

Jim Edwards here with an update that may leave you thinking I had a "Twilight Zone" moment.

Here’s the story….

One year ago I was exposed to something I’d never seen or heard about before… something I initially thought was a bit odd (okay, downright weird) called "brain entrainment" technology.

I heard about it while doing a workshop with my good buddy, Stephen Pierce.

If I hadn’t heard about it from Stephen (whom I trust), I might have passed right by it as a bunch of "snake oil" BS.

But since Stephen said it would improve my concentration, boost creativity, and build ability to absorb information fast… I figured what the heck, I’ll give it a try.

The results I’ve gotten have been nothing short of amazing!

Just by listening to some CD’s with special sound vibrations combined with music (an older version of the technology) I not only FELT more creative and was able to CONCENTRATE better on the tasks at hand… but I was also able to wade through the mountains of information that assaulted me every day.

I quickly developed the habit of using those brain entrainment cd’s almost every single day. I even viewed this brain "entrainment" stuff as my mental "secret weapon" for the last year.

Because it sounds a little weird and I didn’t have any "proof" — other than my own feelings and experiences –I’ve just kept quiet about the whole thing… until now.

Why break my silence?

Because last week a package showed up from FedEx. It was from Stephen so I opened it up immediately…

Inside was a DVD case with an audio CD inside it… I popped it in my cd player, put on my headphones, and was absolutely blown away.

I held in my hands the "next generation" of brain entrainment technology… and it’s GREAT stuff!

Within 10 minutes of listening to the CD I was so focused on the task I was working on I almost felt hypnotized… the entrainment was so much stronger.

I called Stephen up and said "DUDE… this thing rocks! I want to tell my subscribers about it!"

Bottom Line: If you want a tool that can help you increase your creativity… if you want to increase your ability to concentrate… if you want to increase your ability to study, learn, and absorb new information, then you need to check this out.

Has it worked for me? YES! I absolutely love brain entrainment and KNOW it gets me the results I want!

Will it work for you? I honestly don’t know for sure… but you’ve got nothing to lose (and everything to gain) by just taking a quick look right now.

To your success,

Jim

PS – I’m dead serious… check this out (the brain scan graphics are pretty impressive and you’ll see an explanation of the science behind "brain entrainment" on the minisite)…

I know it’s "different" — I also know that a few people will email me and tell me it’s complete BS and that I’ve been "duped" by quack psychology.

But honestly, I would not risk my reputation by telling you about something if I wasn’t very confident it’s worth you taking a look right now.

It really has helped me and it’s worth you taking a look right now
