SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Tag Structure

Most webpages are written in HTML. The structure uses TAGS which look like this: <HTML></HTML>. The page could be a static HTML or HTM file or code could generate the HTML at the time that the page is loaded. If you right click on a website, that is not created in Flash, you can look at the source code by clicking view source code.

You will see the structure of code in HTML.
It will all be inside the opening
<HTML> Opening HTML Tag
it will encapsulate all of the other code then end with the closing
</HTML> Closing HTML Tag
The "/" in the arrows represents the closing of that particular tag.

HTML Header

In the HTML <HEAD> Tag, you describe your page. The Header includes the Title,Description and Meta Keywords of that page.
<title>Page Title</title> (Shown in your browser's tab and the title link of the website search.)
<meta name="keywords" content="How to SEO,SEO,Search Engine Optimization,Make your site show in,search engine,index,Ranking" >
<meta name="description" content="How to make your webpages show in search engines on the internet. Help with Search Engine Optimization(SEO)." >

Submit Webpages to a Search Engine

How To make your webpage show up in a search engine such as Google, and Bing/Yahoo.

When creating a website, you should think of all the ways that people would ask for the information or product you are providing or selling. The text should duplicate those targeted "KEYWORDS" and this should also be taken into consideration for your description, Keywords, Actual content Text, image's alterante text,folder names,and file name will also be indexed by the search engine when it spider's your site. A Search engine will spider all the content on your site when you have a website on the internet. The only actual way to "request" that the spider not copy, index, and make searchable to the public is to make a robot.txt file. In this file you have to tell the search engines that a specific page or folder is off limits. Though this is just a request.

TABLE STRUCTURE

<TR> <TD> ROW_2 COLUMN_1 <TD/> <TD> ROW_2 COLUMN_2 <TD/> <TR/>

<Table/>

ROW_1 COLUMN_1	ROW_1 COLUMN_2
ROW_2 COLUMN_1	ROW_2 COLUMN_2
ROW_3 COLUMN_1 & 2

The TABLE Tag is use to provide a structure to place your information on the page. You can have a table within a table.

TAG - <TR><TR/> (This is a row inside a table.)
TAG - <TD><TD/> (This is a column inside a row in a table.)
TABLE Attribute Border="1" (This puts a border around your table.)
TABLE Attribute Width="100%" (This would stretch the table 100% across the Webpage. This could be any percentage)
TD Attribute Colspan=2 ( You can join two Cells in a table together by using the attribute Colspan=2 (Column Span).)
TD Attribute Align=Left ( You can use the align attribute to either align [left,Center,Right] )
TD Attribute Valign=Top ( You can use the align attribute to either align [Top,Center,Bottom] )
TD Attribute bgcolor=yellow ( You can use the bgcolor attribute to put a Color as the background of a cell)

Lists (Ordered and UnOrdered Lists)

Ordered LIST ITEM 1
Ordered LIST ITEM 2

UnOrdered LIST ITEM 1
UnOrdered LIST ITEM 2

The LIST structure used to create lists on data in a structure. It is useful and it can also be teired where you can have a List inside of a List. The HTML list structure used to be easier to use but now after a microsoft update the structure must be used inside of a table to make sure that it doesn't bleed into your other text.
