HTML Basics

 

If you have just started your first web site you know that you can get by without any knowledge of html these days but some knowledge of the basics will come in handy.

To Create a Basic Link on your Web Site use the following code :

<a href="http://ez-onlinemoney.com">Make Money Online </a>

There are different variations of this that will make the page open in a new window and other things but this is the basic code.

If you would like to create a link on your web site that the SE spiders do not follow use the following code:

<a href="http://ez-onlinemoney.com" rel="nofollow">EZ-OnlineMoney.com</a>

Many people wonder is the DOCTYPE is important or not. If you use a program like Dreamweaver the DOCTYPE will be inserted automatically. The answer is, the DOCTYPE will not help you or hurt you. If you are not sure exactly what DOCTYPE your page is, do not use one. This would be the very first thing in your html code and it looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">

The Title and META tags are a very important part of your html if you plan to come up in the SERPS. The title should display exactly what your web site is about. Do not try to stuff non-relevant keywords in the title or any other meta tag as your site will only be penalized for it.

The description META tag should be to the point as well. Create a short relevent description as to what your site is about. The keyword META tag used to be a very important tag for SE placement. Do to the huge amount of keyword spamming this is no longer important but it does not hurt to include this tag. There are many other META tags that one can use but the two most important are the title and description tags. Here is an example:

<title>HTML Basics</title>
<META NAME="description" content="Learn basic HTML tips for your Web site">
<META NAME="keywords" content="html, basics, source, code, doctype">
<META NAME="author" content="Joshua Spaulding">

If you ever get stuck it is always a good idea to take a look at a well known sites source code. You can view this on any web site on the Internet by clicking on the 'view' tab of IE and then selecting 'source'. This will show you the entire code used for that page in particular.
