Keep advertising to a minimum on your website

Amazingly, I see some sites that are almost nothing but ads. We know that no one would turn on the telly if it were just adverts, or buy a magazine if it were just ads and no articles. By the same token, a website also has to have more than ads if it's to be successful. If you are running ads on your website, then you should ensure that the ratio to editorial is no more than 25% to 75%.

Your visitors came to your site to see what YOU had to offer.

If you have affiliations and partnerships that are relevant to your site, then by all means include them. Don't do what I saw recently on a website for a large fabric retailer where the web designer had put her friend's Aromatherapy Massage practice in as a link. It's not professional, makes you look amateur, and Google will mark it down. relevancy is the key.
