The Beginning of Freedom

This Forum is just a temporary place to get this project off the ground, a think tank for R&d.
Well The whole purpose of this is to create a new Membership Website. The actual residence for this new Community. I am going to explain how I plan to do this. What software I will use. I will get into how the graphics will be done, all of the mechanics of the site and the philosophy behind what I am doing. The features of the site and why they will be important.

Now let me tell you I am not a expert webmaster by no means,my skills are more tuned to the actaul methods of Marketing. I know this site will be first class thanks mostly to the technology available. If I get real lucky one of you will want to jump in and help.

The actual construction of the website really isn't that hard, it's all those little things that will make it stand apart from the rest. There are a couple of elements that are important for it to be successful. First it must be pleasing to the eye and welcoming to the visitors that come there. It must be easy to navigate so they can find what they came for in the first place. You have appox. 10 seconds to keep them there or they are gone. The site builder must take this into account, right from the beginning If you are expecting them to purchase something or join your membership. You don't want to bombard them with so much information they get confused. Just enough to make them want more.

The next thing I say will have you scratching your head. The worst thing you could do is allow Adsense to be in view of the spot where the site first opens up first. Or what I call the 10 second box. You do not want your visitors looking at Adsense ads for that vital 10 seconds. You must realize that Adsense matches their ads to your content so it will be the thing your visitor is looking for. Giving them an opportunity to click to some one else's site. I know Adsense is the rage right now and all those ebooks tell to do it different. Trust me Google is not worth Billions of dollars because they are stupid. They know where to place their ads, right in the sweet spot of your site. We will not be using Adsense, for this reason and more importantly, I want to utilize the space for members ads. so the membership can profit not Google.
We will come up with a way that is fair, and make it so we can give as much exposure to the members as possible. Maybe it will be part "Get Paid to Program" as a bonus.
So what are your thoughts what elements do you feel are important?
