Yup - Ogilvys book "On Advertising" talks about this, exclaiming that good content sells better than over-simplifications.

Why the confusion? Why all the cramming of information? Yes! Good Content/Service, but also keep it simple. If I have to read a "chapter" on what you do, or play with four widgets to "learn" more, or visit your blog and troll for topics of interest, then I'm already turned off. I want to know if it's a product I can use/sign up for in less than 30 seconds -- speaking of which, there's a good chance you'll snag me if I'm 30 seconds in and still with you.
