How did peeves become pets? Don't know. Don't really care. But all of us have our pet peeves when it comes to surfing the net for information.

Here are the top 10 according to many surveys:

1. Pop Ups

Pop ups come in many flavors: entry

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

pop ups, exit pop ups, delayed, small, large, multiple, Flyin, scrolling, always on top, browser stopping, surf interrupting, must be cleared to move on, viagra, and the ever popular porn.

Except for an occasional squeeze page to get a free

; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

Examples of combination products may in

book or report, web surfers HATE pop ups.

So why do they continue to litter the Internet landscape? Simple. They work.

2. Extra Software Needed to View Site

Don't blame Canada. Blame Adobe.

Adobe made the Acrobat reader a must for viewing

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

PDF files mainly because:

- It solved a need. Every page now prints out the same regardless of which printer or operating system was being used. It could even be made interactive for form completion.

- Adobe gave away millions of the free r

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

aders before publishers adopted the new PDF format as a standard for ebooks.

Acrobat users now demand PDF files in most instances where ebooks used to have various formats including "exe". Hackers have made downloading exe files from unknown

d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

Combination pro

sources an unsafe activity.

As standard as Acrobat now is, the same is not true for Flash, Shockwave, Deja Vu, and a host of other add-ons with various degrees of support.

I don't need to sit through a 2 meg Flash intro when what I want is i

ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc

formation. Apparently, many others agree. You can add Flashblock to your FireFox browser and decide for yourself when to allow the Flash to load.

3. Dead Dead Dead Links

Nothing hacks me off faster than finding a spot-on anchor text link t

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

at goes nowhere.

It's like having you mouth water over a menu special only to have the kitchen say they have run out.

4. Registration Required to Visit Site

Some sites think their bytes don't stink. They think you should register and login

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

to see anything in the inner sanctum.

What they are doing is asking me to get married before the first date.

What's in it for me?

In this Internet day and age, a company and site has to build trust before a random visitor is going to cough

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

p a name and email address.

Show me a little leg first.

5. Slowwww Pages

If I have to wait more than 4 or 5 seconds to begin viewing your site, I am gone - never to return.

If your servers are slow, find a new web host.

If you loaded your

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi

pages with Flash, MIDI, audio, video, or other files that load with the page, dump them. Put up links instead. Let the visitor choose if they want to read or watch the video.

6. Outdated Content

One huge advantage of the web is the ability

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Following aspects would a

of bloggers and other Drudge wannabes to bypass traditional media and post news online instantly.

If you have not updated your website in 14 months, what does that tell me about your company. Certainly, you are less than a cutting edge solu

dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

ion for my problem.

7. Bad Navigation

Web designers prefer dazzle over function. Function is boring. Who wants a simple text link when a pop up Javascript navigation bar impresses the client?

I do.

So do the search engines.

Every web pa

cts are meaningful and rational?
Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
Do combin

e needs recognizable, underlined text links on every page, preferably top and bottom.

Don't make me waste time trying to find the exact page I am really looking for.

8. No Contact Information

Poor contact information is a binary pair of bad

tions increase the patient compliance?
What would be the developing cost?
How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen

navigation. How many sites have you been to where you cannot find a phone number, a street address, or even an email address? Plenty.

I think it's sweet that you put up an email contact form on your site, but I prefer to use my default emai

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

composer. Every web-based email form is different. I don't want to waste time learning to use your form when my email client works fine.

What are you hiding?

9. No Decent Site Search Tool

There is no excuse for this one. If you have a l

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

rge website with dozens or hundreds of pages, give me an internal search box to find what I need.

Google and Yahoo! and many others will give you the tool - free - to put on your site. Use it.

10. Disabled "Back" Button

I don't want a webs

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

te to dictate how I experience their site. I am a guest on your site. I don't need to come back to your page when I hit the back button. That's why I hit the back button in the first place. You don't have the information I am looking for.

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

In a similar vein, I don't like to see other right click functions like "view page source" disabled. I don't need to steal your HTML code, but if I want to, disabling right click will not stop me. I might want to see how you achieved a certa

elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

n formatting effect. If I am impressed, you can bet I'll be back.

Pet peeves take many forms online. No list is complete, but any webmaster that can avoid these 10 major annoyances is a hero in my book.

When used right, point of purchase displays are an effective way for retailers to move impulse products, innovative new items, and seasonal merchandise.

Every business will succeed or fail because of the quality and motivation of their most important resource - their people. Investing in the lives, learning and encouragement of the human resources of a business, government or not-for-profit group through seminars, workshops and retreats can be the difference you need.

This is part eight in my series on goals. These can be used in anything from affiliate marketing to real life romance. Please tell others about this series as I think there are things that can benefit everyone in some way.
