The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the make-them-stop dept.

nywanna writes "After seeing the example of Plenty of Fish and the reports of the site earning over $10,000/day in Adsense revenues, I quickly realized that there are a lot of ugly websites that are extremely successful. The reason for this, according to the article, is that ugly websites do a few things that beautiful websites tend to lack."

      This is not news. It is self-evident to anyone trying to visit the site. And the people who are not trying to visit the site are not wanting to know about whether the site has been slashdotted. So just be quiet, and the next time you are about to point out this obvious fact on another topic, just don't. It just makes me feel pangs of deja-vu - nausea even - when I see the first predictable few posted dribbles, on any topic, are always triumphantly pointing out that the website in question has been /.'ed.

    Your site isn't ugly, but your whole post is merely a shill for it. In fact I feel slightly dirty for having been there, even though the design is not 'wrong'. Your post actually says the sum total of nothing; "here's my site, it's pretty and has those usability features, and once, there was this site and the dude was giving some advice but lmao rofl it was teh suxxorz but * patronising conjecture about the idiocy of users * and yes i agree with Article Submitter."

    Meh. Power to you.
