Internet advertising with a website is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the proper know-how and the tools to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more sites are clambering to optimize their rankings in websites and if you lose your guard, you may just get trampled on and be left in the abyss filled with so many failed websites.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term widely used today by many website designers. For the past few years and the next ten years or so, search engines will be the most widely used internet tool to find the websites that they need to go to or the product or information they need.

Most people that use search engines use only the ten top search results in the first page. Many rarely search past page three. Making it to the first page, more so to the top three for a competitive search phrase is a barometer of a web sites success in search engine optimization. You will get a higher ratio of probability in being clicked on when you rank high. The more traffic for your website, the more business you rake in.

No matter how much some people claim the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) industry is a den of snake-oil salesmen, and there is an abundance of scammers in the SEO market, there are still definite ways website designers and website owners can improve their Search engine page rankings and thus their visibility in search results.

As a website designer or in working with your web site designer, you should design your website to give your visitors the greatest ease of use, the best impression and most important of all a welcoming experience. It doesn't matter if you had the greatest product in the whole world -- if your website is poorly done you won't be able to sell your products or services because visitors will be driven off your website by the lousy design.

When I'm talking about a "good design," I'm not only talking about a good graphical design. A professional website designer will be able to point out that there are many components or 'web design elements' which contribute to a good website design -- intuitive & easy navigation often termed accessibility design, interface or layout design, user experience design and of course the most straightforward, which is graphic design.

Hence, I have highlighted some features of the worst website designs I've come across. Hopefully, you will be able to compare that against your own site as a checklist and if anything on your site fits the criteria, you should know it's high time to take serious action!
