8 things that make an site annoying


Having a website or blog, today, is no longer a privilege of few. With hundreds of hosting and building tools available to manage a site is very easy. Besides thinking about the content, you can change the layout, adding tools and turn the pages in true entertainment centerpiece.


But what many do not realize is that the clog it with various tools and features, without much relation to the content, your site may end up being seen as a bad example of what is most annoying on the web. We list some of the more unpleasant things that a page can have.

Automatic online radio
Imagine the following situation: You're listening to classical music quietly on your PC when, when you click a link and open the website, your headset is invaded by a pagoda or dance. Webcasters to automatic, linked to blogs or websites, are a real torment for many users.

Although some owners of blogs they intend to offer a complementary tool to the user, it is unlikely that anyone who wants to enter, in fact, hear the same music style available at a site unrelated to the subject. Also, some blogs "hide" the player's options as far away from the page, forcing the user to close the site or losing a good time looking.

Ads in excess
It is natural that a site needs to have many ads. After all, several of them, this is the main source of income. However, common sense when riding a layout and have banner ads is essential. Some sites, unfortunately, can not make a clear distinction of what is content and what is propaganda.

The result is a bunch of banners and sponsored links among the texts, which confuses and complicates the reading of any post. Too much visual pollution, with dozens of ads flashing in the corner, is another negative point, that distracts the reading and makes the page load slower.

Hidden Links
There is nothing more frustrating than getting into a site to download it and you can not even find a link. Problems like this are unfortunately very common. Many sites make money when the user clicks on contextual ads and to maximize the possibility, eventually opting for alternative wrong to confuse the user.

Thus download links are replaced by sponsored links and what you really want to end up in the background. Even after much searching, in some cases, you will see that the page is there only for indexing in Google, without providing any useful link for the visitor.

Compulsory registration
You have found a headline that caught his attention, but clicking on the link finds it necessary to make a register to be able to read it. Lack of agility and mandatory registration forms do not match the internet. Even when you choose to register, the user ends up being directed to other pages and lost the original link of the news.

Also, make the user signs up at various sites only increases the amount of logins and passwords needed to be memorized. One positive point is to allow the possibility to login via a social network like Facebook or Twitter.

Popups
As mentioned above, advertisements are the main source of income for a site. However, play them aggressively before the eyes of users have the opposite effect, preventing the person or sympathize with the click advertising. In this aspect, the popups are big nuisance, requiring the user to click to close them or wait until the end of an animation.

Not always the close button is unclear or unavailable. In some cases, you should really expect to view the ad. When you try to close it, are common accidental clicks, which open new windows and tabs, or even take the user from the link he really was interested in analyzing.

Content copied
Be original. Nobody likes to read a newspaper with news of several days ago. On the web is no different. Just copy the contents of large portals do not lead anyone anywhere. In some cases, when the author does not identify the original source text, the problem is even worse and many users are led to believe that, in fact, the information appeared here.

For those who research specific topics, find postings on again in search engines is already a chore. When in doubt, the best solution is to always choose the links from sites that have more credibility. This ensures that you will read the news in full and with as many details as possible.

Integration with dozens of social networks
Incorporating a social networking site is essential. With these, you can extend the possibilities for viewing content and ensure new visitors. However, we must stay alert and observe a limit of good sense. Some blogs offer integration with dozens of social networks, which ends up making confusing the lives of those who use only the main ones.

Consider the following maxim adopted by Apple: "less is more." Choose only those social networks that are truly meaningful to you. Provide integration with more than five of them already is an exaggeration that most confuses rather than helps.

Mirrors on links downloads
You may have tried to download certain content on a website and when clicked the download link and saw that instead of downloading anything, it was redirected to another place. Sites linking mirrored, with an open secondary windows or requiring the user to register a mobile number are common.

The solution, of course, pleases no one. Many users give up half way and others who choose to register, many times end up without the download link. And there's nothing more annoying than having a frustrated user experience. It is likely that this is your first and last visited the site in question.
