Your 7 Second Internet Presence Secret

Guest post by: David Beairsto

Article Overview: The creation of your internet presence either on sites you own or shared sites should always focus on clearly communicating your message quickly. From the perspective of the people you hope to attract, always design content to make the process of finding valuable information quick and painless.

Your 7 Second Internet Presence Secret

People Crave Clarity You can count on the fact that the most elaborate efforts to develop your internet presence won't matter 7 seconds after someone has found you unless they're captivated by what they see. People are conditioned to expect stimulation and they'll lose concentration fast unless they get it.

Too much happening on your landing page or home page is like the neighbor with a yard that looks like they're always setting up for a yard sale.

If it takes more than 5 seconds for someone to identify with something of value to them, they won't give you the 2 seconds it takes for them to scroll down. Keeping your sites clean and professional makes it easier to draw the focus onto what you want to communicate.

What Was It Called?

When you only have 7 seconds to play with when someone reaches your website or blog, sending them in with some expectation helps to communicate your message that much quicker.

Anywhere you establish an internet presence give it a name that sticks. From the title of an article or video, to the URL of a fully branded independently owned business website, keep in mind that what it's called prepares your visitor to expect something.

Search engine optimization is enhanced when the URL fits the content you post online. The most likely reason is that the search engines treat the search process from the searcher's perspective.

Why It's Called A ‘Keyword'

Like a key opens a door, a keyword opens the door to knowledge related to what it is.

You don't have 7 seconds to unload everything anyone could possibly want to know about the subject that brought them there. You have 7 seconds to convince them that they're in the right place.

You want the headline or subject line to be brief. If they grasp why your site is unique in the first few seconds they'll have time to absorb more of your internet presence.

Where Do They Go From Here?

Analytics is a great tool because it shows how often you break that 7 second barrier, how long those people stay and what pages they view.

Your internet presence in the form of other content should also be designed to continue the conversation. Keep your audience interested in the subject and anticipate that everywhere you send them will again be subject to the 7 second rule.

Even a video on its own or within your site has to clearly communicate what it's all about in 7 seconds. According to the ‘Hollywood Rule' your video should change camera angle, background or contain some movement every 7 seconds to keep your audience engaged.

Victoria's Secret - Too Sexy? - This will be upsetting for some men. I just heard a report about Victoria's Secret and it was interesting. Their sales were down drastically in the 4th quarter of 2007 and the report was about how they are thinking the company has gotten too far away from the heritage that made it the blockbuster company it is. They are thinking the ads etc have become too sexy and the plan (at the moment) is to make the ads more sophisticated. That would be like the Super Bowl commercial which was very tasteful, but very different from any Victoria's Secret I've seen lately. Who do you all think the current sexy ads are targeting? I think its the men that they hope will buy these items for their female significant others. I hate to give Omarosa any kudos - but most women aren't "sold" on an item by an ad of a near naked sexy woman. Shri
Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
