A Great Webpage!

Page design and HTML code which is best for search engines and for viewers

Well from Brett's 26 steps thing we have: -

- keep the page size to a minimal ie 15kb as an example
- hit a keyword density of 5-20%
- spell check
- lots of text breaks, lots of dashes, something that reads quickly
- keep the design basic, no flashy stuff on the page, retro is cool
- on each page link to a couple of high PR sites in that topic
- the page should be no more than two levels deep
- each page should link to at least one other page in your website
- the website should contain a sitemap

Other things which i have gathered from reading

-a title element 3-9 words straight to the point of the page
-a meta description tag for the page (15 - 20 words)
- links should have tags describing them

-AND GREAT CONTENT, CONTENT IS KING (YAWN....... :-p)

And also, what is the HTML code if i want to add a tag to describe a link because i cant find it on the internet!

Please add to this list so i can create webpages which are more effective thanks.

You can add the title attribute to the <a> tag.

<a href="http://www.example.com" title="Example.com">Example</a>

At the IWDN forum, they did a search engine test on how some search engines read this tag as well.

I have never used the title tag for links, but if you choose to use it, try to be consistent: Use it will all external links from your page. Not so much for the SE, but rather because it looks better for the user.

And don't yawn at goog content ;)

Good luck!

CSS design is best for both.
