Worst Massage Websites
When I first started doing websites back in 1999 I thought the word webmaster meant that you could kick bad websites off the web!! (That’s how much I didn’t know about websites!)
I have seen some of the worst massage websites ever and it is an embarrassment really.
I just ran across this one that is done with www.iwantamassage.com Most of the sites that I have seen done with that system are very unorganized with poor navigation systems. This page is all over the place – too wide, with too many butterflies floating around and the pages jump back and forth from wide to narrow.
They (iwantamasage.com)also some how got hold of one of my pages and told the people using their system to put in on their websites. It is the history of massage page on www.thebodyworker.com which I don’t really get because as you can see by the note on the top of the page most of that information is inaccurate. I wrote that page when I first started my site back in 1999 when I didn’t know anything about websites or the history of massage. Robert Calvert, the(now deceased) king of the history of massage even contacted me and informed me that it was totally incorrect. We had a nice discussion on how the history of massage is so convoluted and unresearched and massage schools and authors just continue to pass along false information. And now it appears that I am no different except this page seems to be plagiarized the most from all of my 1000 pages of content on my site.
I try to contact people when I see they have my page up. I have heard all sorts of stories:
You can’t copyright the history of massage
Is one of my favorites that gives me the biggest laugh. Of course I can’t. People don’t seem to understand copyright laws. Copying pages from websites word for word is plagiarism plain and simple. If you want to write about the history of massage collect your own information and write about the history of massage!
The worst massage websites are usually done using a free website program that doesn’t give you much control over the navigation or sizes of the page or placement of things on the page like the one I linked to above.
Some other things I really dislike on massage websites are those sites that play music or start a sound track with a person talking when you arrive on the website. I usually immediately shut down any site that starts with music or talking and especially those that don’t let me turn it off!
One page websites are really a thing of the past.
Got any more for the worst massage websites category?
