Make That Money Man!

These days, why are there so many websites? The answer can be rather simple. People create sites to make money. Advertising can be a very lucrative business for some site owners and those owners are well aware of the amount of money they can generate. So, next time you visit an ugly site ask yourself why that site is so ugly. Was it poor design or very effective marketing?

I think understanding marketing can help a bit. You can't succeed without an angle and some choose to have a very ugly and horrific looking angle. These days people will discuss poor design just as much as they discuss good design. Honestly, you can't set the bar for good design without taking poor design into account. The bad makes the good look even better and the good helps enforce why the bad is just that ugly.

At the end of the day we all need to make money if you are doing so on a poorly designed site... well, good for you. You probably save tons in website start up costs. Well done. On the other hand, if your site is that unfriendly how many people do you think will spend time there?
