They usually have a very beautiful image with words like “welcome” or “click here to enter.” Indeed, it is just that - quite vases no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click the “back” button! Give them the value of your site in advance without splash page.

Do not use banners: Even the least sophisticated net people have trained themselves to ignore banner ads so that you will be wasting valuable real estate site. Instead, adding value and content relevant affiliate forge links in your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being pushed to buy.

Have a navigation simple and clear: you must provide a simple and easy navigation menu so that even a young child will know how to use it. Stay away from complicated menus in Flash or multi-level dropdown menus. If your visitors do not know how to navigate, they will leave your site.
