The key to a successful site is being user-focused. If you fail to give the user what they want they'll move on to the next site. This is a real challenge because often content contributors push what they want users to see, rather than having thoughtful discussions and considering why users come to your site. Users come to a Web site to perform a task, not just to peruse the home page. Their satisfaction is directly linked to whether or not they can complete the desired task. Thanks for the comment!
