How to ruin a web site

hahaha

This will make everyone run away!

Just make the background bright red, the one that hurts the eyes

 

At OP.

You need to make your article headers click through into the article.

 

Who would have never thought of. I always hated it!

 

Hehe 9 I can think of right now.

1: Use a mystery meat navigation system (What page does a red Square image take me too?)

2: Get SEO consultant, then ditch it and the links when you've got a high ranking, thinking the ranking will stay.

3: Use anything like Frontpage

4: Web browsers can handle 256 million colors. Must use them all!!!!!

5: RiTe Lik A eNgiSh NoOb.

6: Copy other peoples content stupidly.

7: Don't moderate Comments/forum posts.

8: Have a really nice looking well designed..... Flash website.

9: Get the cheapest person from china you can find to code your website.

 

Good you mentioned that. I had a pretty bad experience of this myself!

 

Have long pointless flash intro that cannot be skipped.

 

great! I'll collect those and publish on my blog.. lol

 

Having a different style/navigation/background for every page of the same site

 

I've got more! Apologies if these have been mentioned before, I only skimmed the list.

• Have videos that auto-start on load (MySpace)
• Display videos in a non-Flash format that require plugins (Quicktime, Media Player, REAL, etc.)
• Spam keywords on the top and bottom of the pages. Nothing says professional like a huge block of nonsensical links.
• Have more ads than actual content.
• Write a top ten list, but split in 10 seperate long-to-load pages.
• Frames.
• Browser resizing.
• "Best viewed at 1024x768 resolution"

 

Really bright text!

 

Put Zango cash on it. I leave any such site immediately upon arrival.

 

Have AdBrite full page ads.

 

Those bloody Zango pop-ups really grind my gears

 

Im sure that wont ruin a website!!

 

Here are a few more:

- Flash-based navigation (search engines can't read it)
- Flash-based content (again, search engines can't read it)
- Too much text! It's true - no matter how well you write, people always skip over large blocks of text.

 

some fool gave me bad reputation because I 'wasn't helpful'.

Here's my help:

READ THIS TEXT IF YOU CAN

am I making you run away?

 

Nice work everyone!

I've got 44 so far, can we get up to 50?

 

Have tons of popups and popunders.

 

animated backgrounds, flourescent colours, glitter headers

 

Having text that moves, or something that changes the look of your mouse pointer
