It is a hugely important factor that needs to be considered when designing any website.

Most of the time, I've always come across websites whereby navigation proves to be difficult and the load time is really far stretching. I always design my sites according to these criteria and it works for me until today. I agree to what you’ve said.

Remember that when a visitor clicks an ad, they leave your site - hardly the best way to go about developing an online community! <strong>Daniel</strong> - I'm glad you like the redesign. I was hoping to make the blog more professional and easier to read. Everyone loves free site reviews - not sure how the advertisers would feel about you basically incentivising clicks though.

OUCH - Just offer free site reviews for anyone who clicks on your ads. That should do it. (Ha!) Love the redesign, Martin!

But, Martin has written an article on ad optimization. Check the 'website finances' category. That shouldn’t be your main priority, OUCH, surely?
