Ways To Drive Visitors Away From Your Website

Ways To Drive Visitors Away From Your Website






There are tons of resources available that will teach you how to make money on the internet. Heck, I've written tutorials like that myself. But, perhaps it's easier to demonstrate what to do, with a lesson on what not to do. This article will teach you how to drive visitors away from your website screaming "Get me outta here!" If you prefer being alone with your website and don't want all those pesky visitors bothering you, then follow the guidelines below and you'll get rid of them quick as a blink.

1. Don't state on your website what you do or what you sell. Make it a complete mystery why you decided to build your website in the first place. It's like a secret club -- your visitors are left in the dark. Have you been to sites like this where you show up and think "What the heck is this site about?" If you're not presenting a clear statement about why your visitors should spend their money (or at least come back again), then you're on your way to hermit-land.

2. Overwhelm visitors with lots of information. Almost as bad as the "What the heck is this site about?" problem is the "Oh my Goodness! Oh my Gracious!" sites. As a visitor, you know the sites I'm talking about. The page opens and your jaw drops. There is a sea of banners, with links everywhere and articles galore. Where do you go? What do you do? I'll tell you what I do. Click the little "x' in the upper right-hand corner to get the heck outta there!

3. Make the ordering process really complicated. There's nothing I love more than putting items into my shopping cart and then spending 20 minutes trying to figure out how to set up an account and pay. Guess what? I sure don't click the 'contact us' button. I click the "x" instead. You've succeeded in getting rid of yet another pesky customer who wanted to spend money.

4. Fill your site with outdated information and broken links. Pfshew. You dodged a visitor with that one. They clicked on a link that was broken -- and off they went.

5. Make sure there's no way for an interested customer or business partner to contact you. Heaven forbid, you might get some spam if you have your contact information on your site.

Thank Goodness you don't have those gosh-darned customers emailing you while you're trying to read up on Brad Pitt's love life.

Obviously, I'm being silly, but you do know that these examples are true. You've seen sites that seem like they are trying to drive you away. If you are spending time and energy putting up a website to make money, then, make some money. You CAN do it!

It all started one evening when I stared at my screen, struggling to rewrite a paragraph for what felt like the hundredth time. The words weren’t clicking, and the deadline was looming. That’s when I decided to give Quillbot a try. Fast forward six months, and Quillbot has not only saved me hours of frustration but has also become an indispensable tool in my writing toolkit. Here’s my story of discovering its value and why I believe it’s worth every penny. The First Encounter: A Desperate Search for Help As a freelance writer, I often manage multiple clients and tight deadlines. One project required me to paraphrase a dense technical document into something concise and reader-friendly. After hours of rewriting the same few sentences, I thought, There has to be an easier way.

The beautifully r...

Facebook: $750 Million in Hand Worth More than $2 Billion in Sky

It came up conversationally, but I believe Iím the only person at my company to have firsthand experience as a user of Facebook.com.  It was kind of funny to have all these online advertising professionals asking me all about the website everybody used in college.  Didnít they get the memo?  Iím new.  I should be asking the questions around here.  The subject of Facebook.com is an interesting one thatís worth a closer look. Without question, 2005 was the year of MySpace.  Before Rupert Murdochís $580 million social networking venture took the interactive world by storm, itís difficult to believe that even the most optimistic of the billionaireís lackeys would have predicted that new acquisition would more than quadruple its reach within a matter of months.  With 23.5 billion page views by February, MySpace became the second most trafficked site on the Internet. Murdochís success naturally generated buying interest in anything deemed online s...
