10. Selling the same stuff 100,000 sites are already selling and thinking that you can quit your day job.
9. The site’s design is home brewed which lends to a lack of credibility.
8. Typos and misspelling in content shows a lack of attention to detail.
7. Not having any contact information on your site. Why would people order from someone that they cannot contact or determine even where they are located?
6. No privacy page stating what you will do with customer information.
5. Poor quality graphics give the impression quality is not of concern to the site owner.
4. Expecting site visitors to submit their credit card information on a non-secured site. Coding in https:// isn’t all it takes — you need a security certificate too!
3. Not having the most commonly asked for or required information that a customer would seek in lieu of filling out a contact form that asks for everything but their shoe size just to get basic information.
2. Thinking you will get “Top 10″ rankings without time, effort and a site that deserves those rankings.
1. And, the #1 Web Site Mistake is… Assuming none of these issues matter and that you can do what you want and still be profitable. Won’t happen…
