Don't make the same mistake that countless other website owners have made. If your website is crappy, correct it today. Your website traffic and sales figures will almost surely improve as a result. Review the following 5 tell-tale signs of a crappy website. If any of these signs describes your website, you might want to re-evaluating the quality of your site. 1. Free webmaster tools- Sure, free webmaster tools seem tempting. They add extra functionality to your website, and you can't beat the price tag. However, they may be costing you more than you realize. These free tools almost always place a link on your website, which can lead your visitors to other websites and cost you sales. As an alternative, consider having custom features created for your website. You might be surprised how little some of these features cost to develop, and they will improve your site without costing you visitors. 2. Free hosting banners- Banners are the very first giveaway that your website is being hosted by a free service. They are also a pain in the butt to deal with since pop-ups appear in every direction leading browsers to quickly leave. Placing your website with a reputable host is relatively inexpensive, and will greatly improve your visitors' experience while on your website. 3. Misleading headings- If a visitor arrives at your website because the heading promises to help them learn to train their dog but then finds that below the heading you simply want to sell them pet products they will get annoyed and leave. No matter what the focus of your website is, make sure you deliver what your promise. By simply improving your header text, your visitors will stay longer, and make more purchases. 4. Keyword stuffing- Nobody likes to arrive at a website where it is evident that the content is stuffed to the maximum with keywords. Not only is it incredibly amateur, but it also means you have little information to offer the visitor, which gives them little reason to stay. Optimize your website tastefully, and you'll be rewarded with a steady stream of traffic that will stick around and buy from you. If you lack the skills to optimize your website without keyword stuffing, you should probably consider hiring a search engine optimization professional to help you with this task. 5. Text that is hard to read- While this seems basic, many website creators use colored text that is too close to the color of the background, making it hard to read. If a browser gets a headache trying to read your information they will quickly move on. At the same time, text that is too small or too large to fit in their browser will also send them on their way. Ask you friends and colleagues to review your website and provide honest feedback. If they mention that the text is difficult to read, don't get offended, just thank them for their feedback, and look for ways to improve the readability.
