Hi , I am a new player on the online business scene. This is my first article for any forum hope every body likes it. My blog domain is http://www.new-web-business.com/web-business-india-blog. Feel free to add your own ways of pissing your website traffic. If you like it add me a rep. Repeated newsletters – Nothing makes a visitor unsubscribe from your site faster than bombarding their mailbox with “ONCE IN A LIFETIME†offers 3 times a day. Embed videos that start without playing the PLAY button – For visitors having limited bandwidth, the additional data bytes you make them download is directly proportional to the disgust and anger they feel towards you and your Blog. Cluttered slow loading sites – Does your site load under 3-4 seconds?? If no, cut the crap out. Make it smooth, make it simple. Make it lightning fast. Poor Navigation Structure – Making people “search†for the home page link on your blog post assures you that they will never “search†for your home page again. A popup “subscribe to†or “special offers box†appears screaming at your face – you need to scream to get noticed on the net these days, but this isn’t your safest bet!! Changing the theme of your site every fortnight – With sexy wordpress themes in abundance, resist the temptation of changing your theme regularly. If you need, make subtle changes to your theme but don’t go for a complete makeover after every 15 days. Offer a bunch of Cool Links in every Blog post rather than real valued content – Most visitors would prefer finding their desired content through Google directly rather than going to your site and wasting their precious 15-20 seconds. Not responding to comments – If you don’t have time to post timely replies to your visitors you are better off kicking the comments sections. A repeat visitor would click away from your site almost immediately if he finds his query unanswered after 24-48 hours. Publish 2005 editions of your e-book in the year 2009. Lacking enthusiasm in your writing – We don’t need dead posts. Get your content reviewed from somebody for the level of enthusiasm conveyed through that post. Claiming to be an online expert in your field of work while you know nothing more than the basic tips for your internet business. Recommending useless products – This is a no brainer. If you recommend a product that is not worth its value, you can be assured that nobody will accept any further products from you even you offer them for FREE. Add your own !!

a site where that maze lady screams at you randomly you know the one where the kids follows dots on the screen then the scary lady appears on the screen and screams and the little guy s*its himself or maybe that could be good to bring traffic people pranking their friends am i a genuis or what hahahaha
i might build a sraming lady site hahaha and use one of my professional sites like www.ftseindexes.com haha this could be a hoot wish i was there to watch them though
Putting to much ads, Is really A good way to piss of and yeah Linking Your post To Unrelated Stuff like Tv series Of 90s
Nooo..! I was thinking about making like a hundred alerts saying 'Hello' when the visitor entered the page Ontopic: Nice and funny list
Sites with Clickbank links make me uncomfortable. Also, pop-up ads that refresh every few seconds are very annoying.
How about those little 'Cancel - OK' boxes on pages that pop up when you quit? 'Are you really sure you want to quit?' 'Thank you for visiting!' 'Don't quit, we'll lower the price by 5%!' Kill me. - Adrian
Nooo.. What if the user closed the browser by an accident? I think there should be two boxes to fully confirm the quit. First a box saying "You are about to quit. Are you totally sure?", and if the user presses OK, another box comes up: "Are you sure?". Just kidding.. Those boxes are so annying. Also HATE the boxes on DP when you've got a new PM: "You have received a new PM bla bla... Do you want to view it?" OK "Do you want it to open in a new window?" NO! Baah..
