Whether it's a cluttered look, poor functionality or just a lack of useful information, there are many ways to fail, and many of the worst sites hit all of these points.
Then there are the zombie sites that hang around with no apparent purpose. Case in point is Oldsmobile.com. The oldest of +General Motors brands began in 1897 but it finally shut down for good in 2004 after an extended wind-down. For some reason the brand site is still out there although at least the links take you to other GM sites to find dealers and parts or new vehicles from the surviving brands.

Maybe there's a need for a "Web Cleanup Project"? At least for getting rid of unused, out-of-date sites?
Could there be an SEO-related need to have this dinosaur still roaming the interwebs?
