Blogs are popular because of frequent updates and great content but they may also be popular because of what they do not contain. EcommerceTimes.com
reports that a recent survey from the Hostway webhosting
company found that people don't like the following items on websites:
Pop-up advertising -- 34.9%
Registration log-on pages -- 16.7%
Software installation -- 15.7%
Slow-loading pages -- 9.1%
The survey also found that over 76% said they would be extremely or somewhat likely not to revisit a site that had one of the above pet peeves. Blogs tend to not have any of the above pet peeves -- although some may have the slow loading page peeve. The lack of these peeves is probably another reason why blogs are becoming so popular.
