It takes more than a fully functional website and credible content to get ahead of the SEO game. True, it has and will remain to be an essential part of search engine optimization. But apart from the glitz and glamour of presentation, page ranking and traffic are gained through meticulous refinement of the building blocks of site and content.
The title is the hand that is raised when the search engine calls for sites pertaining to a particular search subject. As such, it should be created in a manner that attracts. Not to mention that it should present within itself, the gist of the whole write-up that is being considered. This is an important consideration that SEO experts often neglect, having focused on other components of the process. In the same way, the application of meta tags are also carelessly made. Meta tags, like titles, help searchers understand what your site or write up is all about. They are keywords and descriptions that are presented by search engines on the SERP. Upon these two rests the chance of people visiting your page when they stumble upon it on the search engine list. Thus, they should be cautiously formulated in order for them to fully serve their purpose in SEO.
Now, on the other hand, some web designers go into so much trouble in making their pages more creative and interactive for the users, that in the end, they fail in getting their sites indexed on search engines. Mind you, despite being visually pleasing, certain applications are not readily recognized by web crawlers. As such, they are often discarded from indexing activities. As a result, these sites do not show on the search roster, and in effect, do not get that many visits as expected. So it’s best not to overdo website design. Make sites simple enough to be understood by web crawlers and appreciated by visitors. And then, spend that excess time building your links and optimizing your keywords. With regards to links, make sure that you continue to harvest associations with well ranked sites. And for keywords, constantly be conscious of the density (3-5%). And make sure that you don’t overrun your website with keywords. It can actually do more harm than good.
All in all, a site will require continuous thorough enhancement of its parts in order to keep its position on the search results. Like a formula one car that needs to be constantly checked and fine tuned, a site must be regularly honed in order for it to keep its winning shape. With the unpredictability of the internet marketing track, those that make it number one are websites that endeavor to continuously improve themselves.

You should not overpopulate your site with lots of graphics unless your website is all about graphics. Flash objects and 2D or 3D images should be used sparingly. The reason why you should minimize graphics and all sorts of this is that they detract readers from the very purpose of putting up a website—the content. Aside from this, it would also slow down the loading rate of the web page. It is already proven according to surveys that internet users tend to leave the website because the loading of web pages takes too long. However, too much text on the web page is also unattractive and boring. The guiding principle in web designing is to balance both the graphical content and textual content. There should be enough white space.

Here are few factors on poor layout and design.

Keep in mind that poor layout and design would do nothing to boost your internet marketing venture. You web pages would be unreadable with poor layout and design such as too small to read text. A text that is not highly contrasted with the background would make the content hard to read. Another factor that is considered in poor layout and design is the large graphics that would take 48 years to load and too many blinking stuff on the web pages. Complicated navigation is even frustrating.
