- Too much Flash – Okay, I get it. You’re creative. Awesome. But you’re totally wasting my morning as I helplessly wait for your designer’s dancing sausages to finish loading.
- Crappy or non-existent mp3 metadata – Posting an MP3 without metadata is like Safeway ordering the hair-netted sample lady not to tell hungry customers which aisle those nummy
chicken fingers are in. - Too artsy, too fartsy – Don’t be cute with the design, section naming, or navigation. Don’t make your visitors solve a Rubik’s cube to pull up your lyrics page.
- No Search – Chances are good that fans coming to your site arrive with something extremely specific in mind—often a fragment of lyric or the name of one obscure song. If your site contains more than a handful of pages, provide a clearly labeled search box.
- One Way Communication (served one way) – Your fans are not empty vessels or just (ugh) a street team; they have things to say too…Read your email, and answer it.
