How to NOT win awards /website visitors

I think it might be more instructive to explain how people fail to win wanted traffic so thought it be important stress the importance of this article. I have compiled a top ten list of way’s on how not to get traffic to your site or lose potential traffic

Here are the Top 10 Factors to why Web masters lose or turn off visitors. Websites don’t get awards to and annoy their visitors by doing the following.
1 Broken images and links. Make sure all your images display correctly, double check your links to make sure they are correct – nothing more annoying then links going to page not found.

2 Spelling and grammar mistakes. If you don’t take the care and time to get these right, don’t expect the reviewer to take the time to give you an award.

3 Slow Pages. Your beautiful homepage is 200K and hosted on a free website site like Geocities. The visitor will not come back again and worst of he or she will not bother looking at your website.

4 Using a HTML generator program to make your pages. After you’ve seen enough pages, you know what pages were created with what programs; they have a “look” to them. Show you care enough to craft your own HTML.

5 Stupid Java applets. If it doesn’t have a real purpose (and you didn’t write it yourself), decaffeinate please. Same goes for JavaScript scrolling messages. Old hat, it marks you as a clueless net newbie. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to suffer through some stupid Java new sticker applet that slowed my machine to a crawl.

6 Coloured text on a coloured or patterned background. You want an award and the poor reviewer can’t even read your page! PrettyPrint

7 More than 1 ad banner on the page. The reviewer will click on the nicest banner and give that site an award! This is a serious mistake. Put 1 banner on a page, tops (or maybe 2 or 3 buttons). And if you’re smart, don’t put a banner on your main (home) page. That page should advertise YOUR site, not someone else’s.

8 Your entire site is on a single 3-megabyte page. Books have more than one chapter – so should your website.

9 Extraneous content. Don’t put up an animated gif just because it looks nice. If there’s no good reason for something to be on your page, get rid of it. “Perfection is when there’s nothing else you can remove.”

10 Music. Let us count the ways this really annoys the hell out of a reviewer. It takes forever to load. It often crashes their browser. And if they don’t share your taste in music, you’re screwed. There’s a reason silence is golden! Never, ever, ever play music on someone’s machine unless they say they want to hear it (by clicking on a link, for example).
