Once in a while I come across a site that becomes my daily pet peeve.  There are certain things that you should do and shouldn’t do.  I bet I’m guilty of some things that may piss you off but this post is personal to me.  Obviously everyone’s different but these 5 crucial site trends really push my buttons.  I don’t like it and you might have people like me that feel the same way.

1.  You spam me -I signed up for your mailing list and I get nothing but products thrown in my face.  I want real information, which is why I wanted to be included in your posse.

2.  You leave me -  I love reading your posts but when you fade away and not write for 30 days I question why am I still reading it.

3.  I’m often dodging text links to read your posts – I don’t want to be playing a game of dodge ball on your site.    I want to flow through your content!

4.  I’m greeted by a box! Personally speaking, I hate when I visit a blog and a subscribe box pops up.  I know it’s an effective way of capturing email addresses but I’m not diggin’ it.

5. You stole my ish! There’s nothing worse than visiting on of your favorite blogs and realize they stole your content.  I don’t mind if one of my posts inspired you but when it’s word for word then we have a problem.

Note:  I wrote this post before this site was hacked, so that is my excuse for being a culprit of #2.
