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.

One of the biggest trends these days is to use blogs to market and educate users on whatever the sites topic of interest is. Bloggers have even found their ways into the mainstream political arena like blogger Tom Burka.
Blogs are becoming a large source for people’s daily information. Our own blog is related to search engine optimization and seo for example and provides the reader with valuable information on current seo trends.
But political and news blogs are not the only success stories out there. Many business blogs are designed as marketing and public relations tools. Many business people today use blogs as one of their main sources for relative news.

The main reason to redirect anyone to another site or another page on a web site is because a page and or web site has moved. The redirect may point to another site or a subdirectory. You may also have different domain extensions like .net, .org, .info that you want to point to your main .com extension. There are numerous ways to redirect domains, but it’s important to note the correct ways to do redirects.
One of the ways that people do redirects is via a JavaScript meta-refresh tag. While this works the search engines frown on it’s use because you could create a page to rank high in the search engines and then redirect them to another page. So search engines can penalize you for the use of this tag.
Some webmasters use parked domains to redirect to other sites, so they may but 5 domains for example and have them all point to the same domain. What happens here is the search engines now think that you have 5 different web sites when actually you only have one. Once the search engines realize what’s going on chances are you will be removed from all the SERP’s because of a duplicate content penalty, and it will take you considerable work to get re-listed.
To do a proper redirect you want to do a 301 or 302 redirects, depending on what you are trying to do. From a search engines point of view the only proper redirect is a 301 redirect which states that the redirect is permanent. A 301 redirect is instituted on the server and it carries over whatever link popularity that it has to the new URL. A 302 redirect is considered a temporary move and in most cases link popularity is not transferred over which can effect ranking negatively.

Whatever industry or niche you’re in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that’s already active. Depending on the specificity of your focus, you may need to think one or two levels broader than your own content to find a large community, but with the size of the participatory web today, even the highly specialized content areas receive attention. A great way to find out who these people are is to use Technorati to conduct searches, then sort by number of links (authority). Del.icio.us tags are also very useful in this process, as are straight searches at the engines (Ask.com’s blog search in particular is of very good quality).
