Tryangled Solutions web designing tips tricks

Many professional web masters have a budget to purchase links from other highly ranked and and relevant sites. I won’t go into this too much here but you might like to read more about it in my recent post On Buying Text Links. update: I’d encourage anyone wanting to buy links to think very carefully about this. Google have been cracking down on sites that use this practice. They can’t catch everyone but some have been caught and seem to have been penalized for doing it.

You can create a mouseover alert box within a web page that will load an alert box when your visitor moves their mouse over a specified link.

To view this example, place your mouse over the above link, but do not click on it.

If you would like an alert box to appear when your visitors place their mouse over a link, place the code below within your HTML where you would like the link to appear.
<a href=”" onMouseOver=”alert(’Your Message’);return true;”>Link text</a>

Change the text where indicated in red to whatever you’d like.

The “Your Message” text indicates the text that will be displayed in your alert box.

The “Link text” text indicates the text that will be displayed with your link.

Although you can use the above code to load a mouseover alert box, use it carefully, as you don’t want to irritate your visitors.

You can use scripts within your pages to spice them up. However, although you will probably be tempted to use all the fancy techniques to create special effects, try not to go overboard. With each script or effect you add to your web page, it will take that much longer for your page to load.

Select your scripts carefully. Most browsers now support JavaScript, so using this type of script will probably be your best choice. Keep in mind, JavaScript and Java are two totally different languages and are not in any way connected.

If you must use Java on your site, use it sparingly. Java can be slow and has a tendency to crash browsers. It can also add a lot of time to your web page’s load time.
Scripts to Avoid When Designing a Professional Site

Pop up boxes asking for your visitor’s name

Disabling the browsers back button

Continuous alert messages

Scrolling messages in the status bar

Large scrolling text

Fancy cursors

Cursor trailers

Automatic transfers on mouseovers

Mouseover sounds

This list represents only a small portion of the types of scripts you should avoid. These scripts are not only very irritating, but they’re a big waste of your visitors’ time. If you want your visitors to return, use scripts that will compliment your web site.

You can create glowing hyperlinks within your web page.

This special effect will make your links appear to be glowing. Place the following code within your HTML where you would like your link to appear.

Glowing Text Link Example

<SPAN STYLE=”position:relative; width:200; height:25; filter:glow(color=#3A9DFA,strength=2)”>
<A href=”http://www.domain.com”>Glowing Text Link Example</A></SPAN>

Change the text indicated in “red” for customization.

Creating glowing web page links within your sales web pages is a great way to draw attention to your links by highlighting them. However, use this HTML code carefully, as you don’t want to confuse your visitors.

Websites that you link to create your neighborhood of websites if you will. If websites that you link to are known to be spammy websites by the search engines then the search engines may also think that your web site is spammy. Link farms would most likely be included as spammy websites.

What you want to do is link to websites that have good content and websites that are reputable. If you choose to link to high quality websites then web surfers will associate you as a high quality website also.

It’s important to remember that sending people to other websites is not sending customers away from your site since they are going to leave at some point anyway. What is more important is creating a friendly neighborhood of useful information so you viewers will come back to you time and time again.

The best archives are carefully organized into subjects and date ranges. For search traffic (particularly long tail terms), it can be best to offer the full content of every post in a category on the archive pages, but from a usability standpoint, just linking to each post is far better (possibly with a very short snippet). Balance these two issues and make the decision based on your goals. A last note on archiving - pagination in blogging can be harmful to search traffic, rather than beneficial (as you provide constantly changing, duplicate content pages). Pagination is great for users who scroll to the bottom and want to see more, though, so consider putting a “noindex” in the meta tag or in the robots.txt file to keep spiders where they belong - in the well-organized archive system.
