Does your website suck

5 big reasons why your website sucks.
- Are you giving your visitors what they want? Yea…give them what they are looking for. This is pretty simple and it should be. Giving your site visitors information that is relevant to their needs is what you should be giving them. Remember it’s about them NOT you.
- Do you have un-relevant information on your site? Are you promoting pink ribbons to hard-core bikers? This might be a bit extreme but I’ve seen lots of blogs and websites that do this exact same thing.
- Do you use pop-ups, pup-unders, pop-outs and scripts that make your visitors wonder “how do I get the hell out of here?” This may work for some IM niches but for most informational type websites it is a complete turn off. Some pop-ups do work for the Internet Marketing Niche but should be done carefully.
- Are you promoting stuff that may be considered black hat, scammy, unethical, or a complete rip-off? If so…stop it now, today, before your visitors label you as a “scam artists”.
- Do you use way too many large graphics and videos that take forever to load? Flash Graphics and videos do have there place online but these should complement text and “click here for non flash graphics” links.
Websites that don’t suck
The Internet is still basically a text based medium but, video and other graphic programs are rising quickly. For now stick to what works, good content, no scam products and give your website visitors the best possible content that you can give them.
