Tryangled Solutions web designing tips tricks

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.

Your website is not ranked as a whole. Keywords are used to determine the relevancy of your website for particular subjects. So, before buiding your site, make sure you have a relevant set of keywords. Check competing websites for keywords / search terms and use the good ones for yourself.

If your web site gets trapped within someone’s frames, you can create a link to help your visitor escape. Place the following code within your HTML where you would like the link to appear.

<A HREF=”http://www.blog.tryangled.com/” TARGET=”_top”>Escape From Frame</A>

You’re actually just creating a link to your own website with the TARGET set to “Top.”

At one time, there were many sites designed with frames. However, as more and more people have realized that frames are not a good choice for designing a web site, the number of sites designed in frames has dropped considerably. For this reason, the chance of your site being trapped within someone’s frames is slim. However, you may still want to include this link at the bottom of your site.

For the purpose of these tips a search engine is something like google. It scans the web for sites to include in its index. It will follow links and find new sites all on its own. A directory (such as Yahoo or DMOZ) includes sites one at a time, with a human being looking at each site.

# Put your keyword/key phrase in the title tag of your page. It can be the only thing there, or you can make a complete sentence out of it. The title is also what appears in your bookmarks list. So a good title will help people remember you when they bookmark your site.

# Google doesn’t care what you put in the description tag, but other engines do. Put in a sentence which tells the viewer why the heck they should visit your site. What’s in it for them?

# Google doesn’t care about what’s in your keywords tag, but the other engines might. Put in a few words and phrases appropriate to your page. Include common mis-spellings.

# Your primary keyword/phrase should appear in the headline at the top of your page.

# Skip the graphics and banners. Write a page that’s cool and interesting and is appropriate to your keywords. So if your keyword is cell phones write a cool, informative page about cell phones.

# Skip the java, javascript, heavy graphics, etc.

# Links to your page, either from your other pages or from other sites, should contain your keyword.

# Any graphics should have keywords in the alt tag. This will help describe the image.

# Links from your page should also contain your keywords.

# Don’t use your keywords too many times on a page. How do you tell? If your page starts to read badly, then you’ve used your keyword too many times. Links to your page count for far more than how many times your keywords appear.
