In a way, my "front page" of my web site represents a "memo", although, as i have tried without total success to explain to Al, Google takes people anywhere, and only some people arrive at my web sites front page. But, to stick with the front page, over the years I have tried many different approaches. Some subtle, some in your face. Nothing has made much difference i suspect. Right now this is the text I am using:
To those others on a spiritual journey, go where you will. "Seek and you will find" is as true today, as it was 2000 years ago. There would be very few spiritually oriented questions that this site does not answer, as it has over 3,000 pages. For example, these common questions are fully answered:
1. What happens to us after death? Are we alive or asleep, how do we live, and communicate and move? What do we do most of the time?
2. Is it possible to know - as in really know - that God exists?
3. So many religions seem to have a common thread. Is this common thread - love - really the most important thing?
4. If all religions are much the same, was there any point to Jesus coming here? Does Christianity have any unique spiritual advantage as is suggested by its adherents?
5. Clearly not everyone lives by the golden rule. Does this make any difference to how they experience life after death?
6. Is there an eternal hell as promoted by orthodox Christianity?
7. Is there a great day of resurrection?
8. Is reincarnation true, because if it is, so much that the orthodox Christian churches teach cannot be true?
If you know the answers to all these questions, and those answers ring true deep within your being, you will find that you can go about your life in total peace, and without any fear. As I do.
And each is hyperlinked to where that question is answered. In an effort to get folks from the front page to the texts.
Google Analytics tells me 59% of my visitors are new, never been there before. A surprisingly high number, and thats about 245 a day. Of those, 16% land on the front page. Or 1172 people in the last month. I believe 50% move on to another page.
But I think maybe 3 or 4 a year, actually turn up on a forum, and become part of a community. Its an abysmally low conversion. Just as well i am not trying to make a living out of this. LOL.
But this analysis is also interesting:
