You need to make it incredibly easy for your website visitor to do what you want them to do.

If distractions are getting in the way of that goal, get rid of them.

You may have many goals, but you need to set priority levels on your goals.

What’s more important, getting a new social fan or making money off selling a beat? What’s more important, having a big banner to an affiliate link or collecting emails to market to in the future?

You need to eliminate distractions to reach your website goals.
