The title tag is one of the most important tags on your Web page. And placing your keyword phrase in the title tag, preferably at the beginning, is very important to get that phrase into the search engines. Plus, that puts your keyword phrase as the link in the search engine index.

The three major elements of a search engines are: the spider, also called the crawler; the index or catalog; and the search engine which displays the results of your query in your browser.

The spider visits your web page, indexes it, and then follows links to other pages within the site. This is sometimes referred to as being “spidered” or “crawled.” The spider returns to the site every so often looking for changes.

The index is a giant database that contains a copy of every web page that the spider finds. When a web page is changed, then this database is updated with the new information.

Sometimes it takes a while for pages or changes to be added to the index. Therefore, a web page may have been “spidered” but not yet “indexed.” Until it is added to the index, it is not available to searches by the search engine.

Search engine software sifts through the millions of pages recorded in the index to find matches to a query and ranks them in the order of what it believes is most relevant. Different search engines often produce very different results.

The Page Description is a short blurb or summary of your web page found in the metadata. Google often uses the first 20-25 words of this description below your site name in search results. As with the Page Title, Google will bold the words that match the user’s search terms.

It’s a best practice. One of the most common problems is with Title tags when companies create web sites and put the exact same information or nothing at all. Title tags are the first and most important indication of what the web page is about. Title tags should be a short summary of the page with important keywords to the left.

The meta description tags are used in the search results. It is important to use them if you want some degree of influence over what search engines display in the search results of when your web page ranks for a particular keyword query.

The most important elements to insert keywords into are the URL (domain name + path + filename) and title of your web page. Also, a low-level URL (www.mysite.com/page.htm) is considered more important than a higher level URL (www.mysite.com/subdir/anothersubdir/page.htm). Check out the Dutch website Nu.nl for a good example. Notice how every newsitem has it’s own title in the titlebar and how every item’s html file is named after its title. These tricks make you score!

It’s also important to use your keywords in the body of your site, frequency (a lot) and proximity (close to each other) are important. The higher in a page, the more important a keyword is considered to be. Text in headline (h1 or h2), bold or caps is considered more important than regular text.

If you would like to display the last modified date on your web page, place the following code within the HTML of your web page where you would like the date to appear.

Example:

This page was last modified on: 06/18/2008 04:45:20

Last Modified HTML Code:

<script language=”Javascript”>
document.write(”This page was last modified on: ” + document.lastModified +”");
</SCRIPT>

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

If you would like to use this JavaScript code to display your web page’s last modified date, it is probably best to place the code toward the bottom of your web page.

If you would like an alert box to display when your page loads, place the following code within the HTML of your web page between your <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags.

<script language=”Javascript”>
<!–
alert (”Alert Message”)
//–>
</script>

Change the text indicated in red to the message you would like to display.

Although you can use the above HTML code to display an alert box when your web page loads, please use it cautiously, as you don’t want to irritate your visitors.

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 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.
