BUT I always skip the intro, probably because I have seen it and I want to leap right into "new arrivals." But alas, some of your fans who know more about how to attract first-time visitors are probably better at helping you decide what to do. There's no "wrong" answer here... your site is fabulous! <br /><br />I know you didn't ask, but what I think is TRULY FANTASTIC is this blog. Your ideas, your writing, the things you feature all say a lot about you and your brand. <br /><br />Your fan, JoanJoanhttp://www.timelesstreasuressf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-41858628517581907212009-07-09T23:36:25.110-07:002009-07-09T23:36:25.110-07:00Leave it...it is your brandLeave it...it is your brandMindy Weissnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-54019208164938740912009-07-09T10:51:59.081-07:002009-07-09T10:51:59.081-07:00I am mixed.

Not having the splash intro won't hurt that. <br /><br />A well appointed mansion is never hurt by the rearrangement of some furniture...it's usually enhanced. <br /><br />Making a decision like this involves taking a look at how people get to your site in the first place. If the links coming in are coming from sites using the URL of the splash page then you might have a problem. A simple redirect should take care of it...<br /><br />Test and Re-Test.<br /><br />Best Of Luck<br />MartinFine Estatehttp://fineestateliquidation.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-10877694810046056672009-07-07T22:02:10.880-07:002009-07-07T22:02:10.880-07:00Hi Lynn :) I love your site and I do love the intr...Hi Lynn :) I love your site and I do love the intro, it is liking stepping into a new luxurious world, however, I am one of those who likes to get right to it. I usually open about 2 or three sites at a time because I know the intro's will take a bit, so I look at which ever opens the most quickly, first (yikes, I'm the minority here)! :) Anyway, it doesn't matter what you do to the site, I love it and stop in all of the time. <br />xoxo<br />Judith~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595161202767414649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-45726149540867516972009-07-07T16:13:33.785-07:002009-07-07T16:13:33.785-07:00I love it just the way it is!I love it just the way it is!a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15072699457424749576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28014781.post-38543207362972120912009-07-07T15:03:55.847-07:002009-07-07T15:03:55.847-07:00Yeah...

I like it. ;)<br /><br />I remembered when my 18 year old daughter first went to you site some time back, it was what made her go "COOL! It's really like going to a hotel front!" So... that sealed it for me.

I had my first page removed for a or two weeks and my bounce rate almost doubled! Needless to say, it is back. You could always do the same and remove it for a spell and analyze the numbers.
