Websites That Won’t Go Back When Using the “Back” Button

Ever notice how some websites won’t let you go back without pounding on the back button four times in a row as fast as you possibly can? Those are annoying, but even worse are the ones that you click a link and to get back to where you were you have to re-type the URL, because no matter how many times you click the back button at lightning speed, it will not let you go back!

  1. It is a proven fact that when people experience websites that are coded this way, they never return. If it is the intention of the site owner to make the person stay, then it is a futile effort. This is definitely an old tactic and a sure way to lose business on the modern internet.
