Visibility – Looking for web pages in the Internet is like looking for a needle in a haystack. To keep your site on top of the hay and visible, register it to as many search engines, such as Google, MSN Search, Yahoo, Ask, etc., and with directory listings such as Yahoo, the Open Directory Project, etc.
Regularly Updated – How do you feel when you see this on the web site you clicked on -“last updated August 1998”? You immediately feel an eerie atmosphere that send out signs that the web site has been “abandoned” or, worse, “dead”. Remarkably successful sites always look fresh with new pages added, old pages updated, which keeps viewers that urge to come back to watch or see new features every time.
Gold Mine of Information – The successful site contains powerful, relevant and useful information, more information and more information. More than a visitor could absorb in one visit and easy return to previous pages or forward to next pages is an asset.
Clear Navigation – There should be consistency of arrows, icons to guide the visitor where to go—providing the “guided tour” facility but giving them the feeling that they are on their own.

Active participation of everyone involved and everyone knows what is going on. It emotes the professional atmosphere when a visitor comes in to visit. Information
Gathering – The site is capable of gathering information about its users, normally done through surveys, newsletter subscriptions, contests, etc. to give you the idea about who your visitors are, their preferences and reactions.
