Search engine optimization is great for getting traffic to your web site.
What if your page had something on that annoys your visitor?
In a survey carried out in July 2005 Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS) asked shoppers the things they found most annoying.
The survey discovered the following items that people found extremely annoying:
- Those pop-up ads (83.8% of people surveyed)
- needing to install software to use the site (72%)
- non-working links (66.2%)
- Required to register/log on before viewing the site (61.1%)
- Pages that load slowly (57.3%)
- out-dated content (56.5%)
- hard to navigate (55.4%)
- poor site search tool (52.4%)
- Little or no contact information (50.2%)
- back button unavailable (49%)
- Use of too much flash and animation (41.5%)
- text that moves (33.5%)
- audio playing automatically(30.1%)
- poor appearance (28.3%)
While these "mistakes" or irritations don't do much for Search engine optimization they do stop users from using or bookmarking sites.
And after all being number 1 on Google doesn't count for anything if they don't use your site when they get to it does it?
