You make some very good points.

If they are to be successful, an internet marketer needs to review
their site statistics to see where their audience is coming from and
make the necessary adjustments where possible. This is just the bare
minimum.

Then, they need to be studying their site hot spots to see where
people are clicking and what they're ignoring and make those
adjustments as well.

Testing, testing, testing is the new web mantra.

Thanks for your insightful comments and contribution.

Now things have changed. Living in the internet world we have the 2 seconds you mention to impress a reader. There are so many things that a reader can dislike. On this page, someone may not like the red in the sidebars – back button. Advertisement too high on the page – back button. Too much (or too little) white space – back button. Page loads slowly – back button.

Make things more difficult, try to sell to people from different countries. We are on the internet, so we have visitors from everywhere. I've stopped counting, but at one point I had tracked over 70 country specific Google search engines that landed on my site. Google.fr or Google.vi for example.

Do people from different countries like your site? Can they understand it right away? Want to give them some help, add a translation widget high on your page. So many things to think about when you start looking at international markets, like the slower internet speeds that some countries have.
