Marketing online, just as business offline, takes a lot of effort. Don't shoot yourself in the foot by making these common website errors.

1 Updating your website. You should add or update pages on a regular basis. This just makes sense. The internet, like the sea, is ever changing. Webpages need to be updated every now and then to keep them up to date.

3. Audio. Let visitors to your online business have some control over audio. Many websites assault the visitor with an audio message or music the second it is loaded. Give your visitors the option of listening or not, and setting their speakers so they don't get jolted off the planet.

4. Use colors discreetly. Save intense colors for areas that don't require prolonged focus or reading. A dash of color can really dress up a website, but don't overdo it in large text areas.

5. Clutter and busy looking websites. Don't try to put everything on one page. Leave a little space here and there to give the visitor's eyes a rest. You can make more pages.

6.Navigation. Keep navigation simple. Guide visitors through your website by tying content together that leads them from page to page. Tell them to go to the next page and find information or products or whatever. Tell them within your content.
