Making sure that your web site is error free is extremely important not only to your visitors but also to the search engines.
A web site with lots of errors can quickly affect your bottom line and page rank. It is important to keep the following tips in mind when creating and maintaining your web site.

Common errors that occur are broken links, misspellings and web hosting errors. Broken links are extremely common. You finally have a person that is interested in a product, service or page, they click on the hyperlink and get an error message that the page is not found. That's a lost sale right there.
Make sure you double check and triple check your web hyperlinks. A common error that occurs is when the wrong url is put in the hyperlink or full path to the web page is not included.
Grammatical errors are also a problem. It’s not going to kill your web site if you have one or two spelling errors, but if your web page is full of them, people will question your service or product and go somewhere else.
Use spell check or proofread your content a second time. Ask someone else to proofread your content if you don’t have time. The less grammatical errors on your web site the better.
Another common mistake is that we inadvertently load our web pages incorrectly on our web hosting account. Make sure that files, php includes and images are all loaded properly onto your web host account. A small mess up and you can have a page without images, advertisements or worse no page at all.
Follow these quick tips and you will be on your way to a more profitable web site.
