13 Things To Remove From Your Website Immediately

[@ijstanley]

As a developer, it pisses me off when I land on a blog post that doesn't declare when it was written. Tech moves on so quickly that old posts potentially carry stale information that will be detrimental to absorb. I'm more likely to navigate away.

[@abb0tt]

Great point. Engineering based content requires a date, because methods evolve.

[@thespeedytraumahealer]

I have to agree. It annoys the heck out of me when I don't see the date on a post!

[@naturalworldpublishing]

I'm in favour of dates too, especially if you research something, but I get OMS's point, especially if your website has thousands of articles - no date option is for those who don't have resources to keep the content always up to date.

[@BalloonaversalAu]

I actually liked this point for my type of business, the date really isn't important, the content does stay the same (kids parties and entertainment), but, yes for other industries - super important to get the most up to date info

[@Freederick1]

There is always the post date on KZbin that is somewhat helpful. This one was posted 7 months ago

[@thestreamreader]

I leave most sites immediately that remove the date. Can't stand not knowing how relevant the content is to the present or if it was written with the past in mind.

[@EdwinMartin]

Indeed. I sometimes skip it because I think it’s unreliable.

[@bikeybikebike]

Yeah, especially for technical content that changes over time fuck websites without dates. I ain’t got time for reading your ten year old blog post. If you’re posting your grandmas hotpot recipe fine leave the date out.

[@NotoriousNeedle]

My website is about crafting. Embroidery hasn’t changed much in thousands of years, so no dates on my articles

[@JackieDElia]

One option would be to put the published date at the end of the article.

[@JackieDElia]

@BjarneOldrupagreed.

[@seanwashere]

Agree with everything but I very much dislike when blog posts don't have dates. Everything is relative to time, it's easier to understand the content knowing the date it was created. I discount blogs that don't have dates more than ones that do and are just old posts.

[@jonno081]

Same here... In my fields (software dev) things change quickly so dates are quite important... The rest of the tips where really great

[@MissVindicat]

Agreed. Having dates is a service to the readers.

[@strawpiglet]

Yep, my only disagreement, too. I look for the date right away because information changes quickly. If I can't find it I am immediately put off.

[@nickvledder]

True, there must be dates like this: Edit History Jun 2018 - article created Jan 2024 - updated

[@michaelgill7333]

That's the whole point :) avoid the dates, and keep updating that blog post to suit the times and continue getting ranking and traffic from the post ongoing...

Disagree about dates and generic navigation labels. Familiar labels like Products, Documentation, Use Cases, Pricing help me navigate quickly to the area I'm interested in. And I hate blogs that don't include dates, especially for technical information.

I disagree on the blog post dates. Content is rarely truly evergreen, and as a reader I want to know whether an opinion was a qualified opinion in 2013 or 2023.

[@VirtualTourPhotographer]

Nice! The big one for me (and my clients) is to avoid stock photos. Hire a photographer and have them build an internal stock library.

[@chrisguli2865]

Great tips thanks! I would have one exception to the no PDF rule - for online training or courses, PDFs are very helpful, for material you can print and take offline with you. I am taking an online course right now and am printing all the PDFs as I progress through the site. I will print these out so I can study them offline, such as when I am on the subway. They are also useful for hand printed notes when they are printed. They are great for printing "cheat sheets" for when you are offline or don't want to look at a tiny screen. Also some people feel more secure with a PDF form to print, fill out and snail mail in, versus an online form, especially these days with all of the spoofed websites out there. Otherwise, yes, PDFs would be "rust" compared to HTML.

[@357molotov]

I read lots of blog articles that have to do with coding and technology. Dates are EXTREMELY relevant in these areas and often will not consider spending my time on something if I'm not sure it's up to date content. In many cases, I can understand dates not being of importance, but in many cases, they're necessary. Other than that, great content, thank you.

[@QuantumKurator]

I don't agree with removing dates on blog posts. If it is a technical blog and content is over a year old I generally won't read it. And if there are no dates, I assume it is old and wont read it.

[@WordStampedTutorials]

You're absolutely right.

[@qwertiepie]

Same here, I look for current, in fact I add the year in my search

[@P-Funk69]

I’m like that too

[@No0utlet]

Absolutely correct. Around 2017 I hated finding Medium articles in my technical search results page because they never had dates so you couldn't rely on the fact that they were talking about the same version of software that you're using. Technical articles are not evergreen content.

[@holleey]

well, by your own logic tech blogs SHOULD remove dates for posts that are 1+ years old... because then at least there's a chance the user might stay. but I agree; no date = really bad UX in cases where users specifically are looking for one.

[@LambrosHatzinikolaou]

Thanks for the post. I agree with everything you say except for the 7nth point. Dates on blogs. As a consumer of blog posts, I have to choose what to read and what to ignore from a SERP, with posts with no date falling into the latter category. I prefer fresh content to old one and when I'm not sure it is fresh I just ignore it. It’s difficult to hide the date of the content, anyway. One can check the comments or the source code to find out. If the content is old, an update would remedy it. So in this case, the blogger can show the update date instead of the publication date.

[@PatrickGoddard]

I was thinking that same thing. As a consumer researching for a product, as an example, say "best space heaters", I want reviews that are the most recent, not information that is out of date. I find more value with articles that have been update recently and is stated ("Updated Jan 2024"), then either old articles or articles with no context to date.

[@GregoryMatous]

Yes, a last updated date is a great idea! Shows you are keeping the content current.

[@beckypetersen2680]

I write a blog which is more like a real blog - daily activity journal - quilting, and the date is vital to me. I understand that old looks bad, but when looking at other people's blogs or even videos, I often check the dates to know how prices might have changed, etc. I personally want the date on there. But I get it if the content is just generic advice or a rant about 10 things I hate, or whatever...then the date is irrelevant as it is just general advice and not as time relevant. As a quilter, I don't mind reading an older blog if it has the content I am looking for.

[@PazLeBon]

yet the date doesnt actually change whether the data is accurate or indeed the best answer ever

[@benhetland576]

@@PazLeBon I disagree; the date matters a lot when considering the accuracy of a lot of information (though not everything). Consider an article describing RAM technology and gives guidelines for what to use in various use cases. A year later the picture might have changed drastically. I may still consider an old article "accurate" for its date of publication when I know it, and I might be able to adjust for the changes myself. But when there's no date, then I don't really know if it was written yesterday by someone who just lagged about 15 years in their knowledge on the topic. Or I wouldn't even recognize that if it was a topic I was very unfamiliar with, which certainly could be one reason to read it in the first place.

So many great points. My favourite is putting descriptors in the navigation tabs. It’s got me thinking totally differently. Super helpful.

[@RobertPlank]

Wow, this video was super helpful! I didn’t realize how much a vague homepage headline could confuse visitors. It makes total sense that we need to be clear and direct to show what we do right away. The part about generic navigation labels really opened my eyes too-using specific words can guide people much better. I never thought about how stock photos might seem fake and turn people away; showing real people makes a big difference in connecting with visitors. And I loved the point about contact forms being better than email links-so true! Overall, this made me rethink how to make websites more friendly and useful. Thanks for sharing!

[@se1501]

I'm rarely impressed by so-called "experts" touting their knowledge that blows people's minds with information that equates to common sense. But this is thoughtful, interesting, and supported by data. Good job and thanks.

[@chrisguli2865]

I agree 300% about the social media buttons - social media is nothing but a distraction - shouldn't be on the home page at all maybe just at the bottom of a "contact us" page (with dull monochrome buttons) with the contact form prominently above the fold so to speak. The general flow of a website should be like a highway, get on fast, but stay on for a long time, and only exit off the highway after they saw all the sites. Maybe stop at a rest stop for some refreshments before exiting....cha-ching!

But what I have been trying to get through to him is that I want the website to actually help him get more customers-and some small business websites are just not good and when the website is bad , I feel it turns potential customers off and actually costs you business instead of helping you grow. This video gives me the information I have been trying to find in a very straightforward and easy to follow format. Again, THANK YOU!

[@karencwilsonmarketing]

I just completed a content audit for myself. I went back through content that goes back over 8 years and I'm glad I include dates because it reflects that my own thinking has evolved in that time. Even though my content is all evergreen in my business, the current content is still my most up-to-date ideas.

[@WooShell]

As a customer, I absolutely hate it when websites force you to use a contact form instead of just giving you an email link to click on. Please take that recommendation off your list, or at least follow it up with a guide on how to build good contact forms, don't use prebuilt solutions from whatever CMS you're using. Avoid character counters, especially such tight limits like 500 characters that many prebuilts use. Consider the most common inquiries you get and verify how many attachments are commonly required for the customer to get their request across. If you absolutely must use a file type filter (hint: you don't, ever. if you're worried about viruses, scan every incoming file.), ask your presales engineers etc what they use. I've had so many cases where I needed product detail infos from a company and had to put a "please follow up via email" into a contact form because the damn form wouldn't allow me to e.g. attach a CAD file to request a quote for manufacturing. This just adds unnecessary steps and might lead to customers picking other suppliers that have less restrictive contact forms or offer plain email links.

If you're using buttons or icons for navigation, make sure each element has a title attribute that explains what that button does when the user hovers over it.

[@katiemcgregor-blazewebdesign]

Great list. The one things I would disagree with is PDFs - yes if they are a lazy form of putting content on a website (oh let's just upload a PDF of our company brochure) BUT if they are a handy summary of key points from a page for someone to download and keep - especially if that PDF is branded and has clickable links back to your website and to other related articles. I am sure we all devour a lot of information online and often cannot remember where we saw something useful. Yes I use bookmarks and copy links into my notes, but a PDF in a folder on your desktop is also very useful for the type of person who organises in that way. 🙂

[@alexandratracey8252]

I agree with not putting the date on a blog post. I like "latest posts" collections. I also think we should be updating blog posts to keep the content fresh for Search. I then mark them as Updated. I suppose it's going to matter what industry you're in. If you're writing about hardware, dates are super important. If you're writing about social media best practices, it shouldn't be about what buttons to click but rather the evergreen strategies of digital marketing. I haven't thought much about Uber-specific navigation. I HATE clever navigation titles like "love notes" or "journal", it drives me crazy. I do like a nice minimalist navigation that lets visitors know exactly what they're looking for. GREAT video! Thanks for sharing.

Loved how you approached SEO differently in your video. The only thing that I don't agree with is omitting date on blog posts because, as of April 2024, Google says: "If you don't display a date, Google will use the only date it knows: the date they indexed it. Even though you're hoping your content will appear more relevant without a date displayed, it won't show up in filtered searches unless you have an actual updated date attached." What I do is just periodically review my older articles to be sure they are up-to-date and still relevant then make one change so that a current date is posted.

[@andrewwerth8312]

Regarding contact forms vs. email... Surprisingly, most people I've spoken to (in the artist community) find they get more spam from the contact form than from posting email addresses (captchas can help but are annoying for real people). Also, I've seen several curators (who often find artists online through their websites) write that they *hate* contact forms; they just want to find out how to email you (e.g., regarding some art opportunity), and one even mentioned that she simply wouldn't use a contact form. If she couldn't find your email address, you'd miss out on the opportunity. Just my 2 cents for a particular type of website, anyway.

[@BreM-xb8im]

Thank you.

[@mcm4981]

From my analytics, forms are most effective, I rarely get direct email inquiries, even though I have it on the page. After watching this I'm going to pull it. Captchas bog down page performance - site speed. The irony: Google offers captchas to 'protect' you from spam. Once installed, go check googles Page Speed Insights and they'll show you how stupid that decision was with a low performance score and a suggestion to remove it... Plug-ins like 'clean talk' work well to block spam from contact and comment pages.

[@kristofdemol2195]

From a website owner point of view I understand the advantaged of a form, but as visitor of a website, I also go for the email address. In my experience, a\ you have a higher response rate by sending an email. b\ you know for sure the mail is sent. a lot of contact forms don't sent you a confirmation by mail. So you are left dangling. Did this form really work, or not? And after a few days you send a mail anyway. Or you call. c\ you have an exact copy of what you sent to them. If (big IF) you get a confirmation mail, it's often just a confirmation mail telling you the backend script worked. Not very handy for follow-up communication.

[@beckypetersen2680]

I am one who hates contact forms. I have no idea when they are going to respond and it makes me have to keep the alert up for an email when I dislike email intensely.

There's definitely some good tips in here. Thanks for the video! #1 was cracking me up! So many of my clients have sites making that mistake before I get my hands on them. However, I have to say I also agree with a lot of the other commenters: posts without dates just aren't credible and specific navigation buttons only work for some businesses not all. In fact, I would argue that the public is already trained to understand generic navigation and adding more words could result in a poorer user experience.

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

For immediate release - as opposed to what? As opposed to embargoed until some stated time and day. This is common with newsmakers to coordinate release of images, website updates, social media posts, and media stories. The press release is put out early so news organizations have time to write, fact-check, proofread and get it ready to unleash. Not having a release date or "For immediate release" leaves the intended purpose of the press release ambiguous.
