While all of these, especially the last, may not seem like direct competitors in kind, they are all direct competitors for the potential reader’s time.Looks aren’t everything, even on the web. However, appearances are a liability if they are unduly neglected, no matter how solid your website’s content is or how well your pages rank with the search engines.
