| OK, LETS START WITH MY OPINION FIRST. THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE MADE BY ROOKIE WEB PAGE BUILDERS IS THE USE OF LINKS ON YOUR PAGES. THE REASON WHY ALOT OF AFFILIATE PROGRAMS WILL PAY YOU PER CLICK, IF YOU SIMPLY CUT AND PASTE THE CODE THEY GIVE YOU, YOUR PAGE IS SURRENDERED. WHAT DO I MEAN YOU ASK? GOOD IM GLAD YOU ARE ASKING QUESTIONS... AN EXAMPLE , THE TYPICAL LINK CODE LOOKS LIKE THIS : WHEN THIS LINK IS CLICKED, THE SITE YOUR LINKING TO WILL OPEN IN YOUR BROWSER WINDOW. YOUR SITE SURFER JUST LEFT YOUR PAGE! NOW IF THEY CLOSE THE WINDOW, OF THE SITE YOU LINKED THEM TO, THEY HAVE CLOSED YOUR PAGE TOO!! THE AVERAGE WEB SURFER, UNLESS REALLY INTERESTED IN YOUR SITE, WILL GO ON ABOUT HIS OR HER BUSINESS. NOW IN THIS EXAMPLE : WHEN THIS LINK IS CLICKED, YOUR VISITOR WILL OPEN THE PAGE YOU'VE LINKED THEM TO IN ITS OWN BROWSER WINDOW. LEAVING YOUR PAGE (THAT YOU WANT THEM TO RETURN TO) LEFT SAFELY BEHIND THE NEW WINDOW. WHEN THEY CLOSE THE PAGE YOU LINKED THEM TO, YOUR PAGE IS RIGHT THERE FOR THEM TO CONTINUE SURFING. IF YOU WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS BEFORE, THE NEXT TIME YOU'RE SURFING THE NET, PAY ATTENTION TO OTHER WEB SITE LINKS.YOU WILL FIND THAT MOST ARE JUST SENDING THEIR VIEWERS AWAY WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE REALLY GOOD STUFF YOU WANTED TO SHOW THEM. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THOSE SITES. |
| OUR NEXT SUBJECT WILL BE POP-UP ADDS . HAVE A LINK THAT MAKES YOU MONEY BUT DOESNT SEEM TO GET THE ATTENTION OF YOUR VIEWERS ? BY ADDING A LITTLE CODE INTO THE BODY OF YOUR PAGE. YOU CAN MAKE A PAGE POP-UP WHEN THE PERSON EXITS YOUR PAGE. BUT BEFORE I SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS, LETS GO OVER A FEW THINGS. 1. POP-UP ADDS CAN ANNOY YOUR VIEWERS. USE THEM WISLEY! 2. USE THESE POP-UPS ON MAIN PAGES. FOR INSTANCE YOUR INDEX PAGE (OR A SITE MAP PAGE), IF YOU OPEN ALL LINKS FROM THIS PAGE INTO A NEW BROWSER WINDOW, THE PAGE (YOUR INDEX PAGE OR SITE MAP) WILL BE OPEN UNTIL THE VIEWER IS DONE SURFING YOUR SITE . WHEN THEY CLOSE THIS PAGE A BROWSER WINDOW OPENS UP WITH THE BANNER YOU ARE TRYING TO DRAW CLICKS TO. CLICK HERE AND I WILL SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THE POP-UP. THIS TRICK DOESN'T WORK IF YOU OPEN THE LINK WITH THE TARGET="_BLANK" CODE. BECAUSE IT ONLY POPS-UP WHEN THE PAGE UNLOADS, OR CLOSES. THE CODE FOR THIS GOES INSIDE THE <body bgcolor="#000000" link="#FF0000" vlink="#00FFFF" text="#FFFFFF" (ADD THE POPUP CODE HERE) |
| 1. DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR VIEWERS |
| 2. POP-UP PROS & CONS |
| 3. ADD STYLE TO LINKS |
| MAKE YOUR links jump out AT YOUR VIEWERS! NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE OVER THE TEXT LINKS ON THIS PAGE? THIS CONCEPT IS USED WITH PAGES WRITTEN WITH CSS (CASCADING STYLE SHEETS). BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING CODE INTO THE HEADER OF YOUR PAGE .YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE ROLLOVER EFFECT TOO ! |
| 4. GUARD YOUR WINDOW ! |
| SOME WEB SITES WILL USE FRAMES IN THEIR PAGES. NO BIG DEAL RIGHT? WRONG! THIS ALLOWS THEM TO OPEN OTHER PAGES IN THEIR FRAME. WHATS THE HARM IN THAT YOU ASK? WHEN YOUR PAGE (FOR INSTANCE) IS OPENED IN THIS FRAME, YOUR PAGE MAYBE SHOWING BUT, IT'S THEIR NAME NOT YOURS THAT SHOWS UP IN THE WINDOWS TITLE SECTION. IF UNNOTICED SUCH A SITE COULD BE TAKING CREDIT FOR YOUR HARD WORK! WELL THERE'S A WAY AROUND THAT. YOU CAN FIND THIS SCRIPT ON MOST OF THE FREE SCRIPT SITES. I FOUND IT IN A M.S. WINDOWS MAGAZINE A WHILE BACK. ADD THE FRAME BUSTER SCRIPT INTO YOUR PAGES HEADER: |
