I would chose misleading text / articles, useless link, forbidden page and error URL.
This is the most I hate when I was browsing their site.

Here is a list of common mistakes that are made while designing a website, so you can keep away from them when designing your own:



Omit the welcome screen. The welcome (aka Enter Here) screen is 100% meaningless and provides no value for your website visitors, despite how cool you might think it looks. Moreover, since no content is on it, it also affects your sites ranking with the search engines. So, besides being a web design mistake, it is also a SEO mistake too.
Don’t force a new window to open. Leave the visitor’s web browser alone, don’t re-size it or force a new window to open. Otherwise it is a total disservice to your site visitors and leaves them with a bad experience.

Don’t overlook the contact page. The Contact page is one of the most important pages when building a website. Nowadays, many websites are lacking a contact page. I wonder how this happens, but just remember that it is one of the most important pages of your website.
Make use of easily readable fonts in graphic elements. Many web designers create graphical elements to signify fancy text in their site designs. Make sure they are not too big or too small and are easily readable.
Allow the visitor the ability to turn music on/off. In no way force your visitor to listen to music; they might be in a public place that isn’t suitable for music to be played. Either way, allow them the choice to listen to it or not.

Do not use pop-ups. Try to avoid pop-ups, as it is not well liked by many internet users. Moreover, advanced web browsers such as Firefox block almost all of these by default. Also, tabbed browsing is available in almost all browsers – so, pop-ups are dead.
Check browser compatibility. Test your site in several browsers and at different screen resolutions to make sure of it’s browser compatibility. Horizontal or vertical scrolling is not an acceptable way to view a page, so try to avoid scrolling.
As a normal practice, most web designers do not use Internet Explorer as their default browser, however remember that it is still installed on millions of computers. Spending a few hours on checking browser compatibility will result in a better traffic flow in the long run.

Trying to avoid the above common mistakes when building a website will guarantee your site keeps its traffic and is readable, fresh and fun for all who visit it.
