First Impressions Count â Even To A Search Engine
Before you think about submitting your site to a search engine, you need to be prepared. Donâ t think that because you have your domain name registered and a â under constructionâ page up that you are ready.
Donâ t even think about submitting your site to a single search engine until you are ready to receive guests or visitors. The worst thing in the world (I think so anyway) â is to follow a link to a website and only find a â under constructionâ message or a front page with lots of links with â coming soonâ as a reward for my click.
Why did I come to your site? I want to either find out something interesting, look at something, download something or buy something â not to be told to come back later when you are ready â to tell the truth, I donâ t think I would bother coming back. Even when you tell me to come back because Iâ ll remember and think â been there before, it was a waste of time, full of coming soon stuffâ .
If you have a blog â donâ t leave the messages saying â Just testingâ or â congratulations and welcome to your new blogâ . Donâ t even think about writing â Welcome to my blog, over the next coming few days I will beâ ¦â Just remember, the internet has no concept of time, but humans do. If I come to your site and find a â Welcome to my blogâ ¦â post with lots of promises, but you donâ t deliver, why should I trust you with my time? My money? My business? The truth of the matter is, I wonâ t.
Iâ m not going to go through a whole list of things that tend to put visitors off staying on a site â but here are a few of them:
Broken links (always check your links before you upload to a site)
Awful color schemes (Yellow and Red? â Try pastel colors)
Tiny fonts â I like to be able to read without pushing my nose to the monitor.
Difficult navigation â I want consistency and clearly labelled links
That should give you a bit to think about...
