You have to admit that there are some pretty



wonderful-looking sites out there. In fact,

most of them are really nice. But, there are

some that just don't seem to get the idea.

No, I'm not an EXPERT web designer, but, just

like you, I know what I like, and what makes me

leave a web site.

So, just for a while, let's pretend that I'm

sending an email to..."someone". And the reason

for writing is simply to let them know why I

didn't visit their site for very long.

Any one, or more, of the examples below could

have been used. They would not have been sent

to offend anyone, only to let them know that

MAYBE it's one of the reasons their sales are

not what they expected.

Who knows, it might actually help someone!

1. Winking, blinking, flashing, bouncing, rolling,

jumping, twisting graphics. I came to your site

because something attracted me to it. But, how can I

concentrate on your offer, with all that distraction?

2. Text, or graphics marching across my screen.

I didn't come to your site to see how clever you

were at web design. If I want to see a traveling

marquee, I'll go to a theater.

3. Your site runs way off my screen, and I have to

scroll back and forth to read your offer. No, I'm

not lazy, I just don't want to wear out my 'scroller'.

4. Long, long paragraphs, that not only have 150

sentences, but run clear across the screen. Would

be much easier to read if you broke it up into many

paragraphs, and put into a table that is only half

the screen width.

5. I don't think I'm blind, but how the heck do

you read red text on a pink background? Or dark

blue on a black background?

6. Wow, you must be making a pile of money, with

all those affiliate links you have. Are they REALLY

that good? Can't make up my mind which one to look

at, so I guess I'll just have to leave.

7. Gee, can I REALLY make $5,000 a week, in only 2

weeks? Seems real good, but it sounds so exaggerated

I think I'll just leave for now, AND THINK ABOUT IT...

Maybe!

8. Sorry, but before your site even finished loading,

you bombarded me with MUSIC. It really didn't do a

thing for me...except make me leave...immediately!

(I have my own radio).

9. Now that's going too far! When I clicked on your

site, a pop-up jumped out at me. That's not too bad,

but when I clicked on one of your links, I got ANOTHER

pop-up. And when I clicked OUT of your site, guess what?

ANOTHER pop-up. Now you've gone and done it, because if

I see another of your ads, do you really think I'll

visit your site again?

For some reason, I don't think so...!

Just thought you'd like to know.
