Redirect Your Visitors...
With this simple code you can automatically redirect the surfers from a page on your site to any other page of your choice. You even have the option of setting up the number of seconds before the surfer is redirected.
You will have to use a <META> tag in the <HEAD> section of your HTML document. Keep in mind that the following will not work with very old versions of Netscape and Explorer.
Here is the code that you need to put between your <HEAD> tags:
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="5;URL=http://www.Url_Of_Your_Choice.com;>
</HEAD>
CONTENT="5 is the number of seconds the script will wait before redirecting your visitor. Switch this number up according to your preference.
Watch Your Sponsor Ads...
Nothing worse that a website cluttered with sponser ads. All this does most of the time is push you reader way. Learn to limit the number of ads on any given page so that it dosen't hide what you have to offer the surfer. Learn to place ads in strategic places where they will convert better instaed of placing 30 ads on one page. Moving them around and trying new things will help you figure out what works best on your site! Remember - More sponsor ads doesen't always mean more money!
Test The Browsers...
The two main internet browsers, Explorer and Netscape, don't always display web pages exactly alike. Font weights and sizes can vary from browser to browser. The more complex your designs, the more chances of conflicts between both browsers.
What I recommmend, is downloading a copy of both Explorer and Netscape on to your PC and to use both programs to text your web pages to ensure that they look like you want them to look. With time, you learn to diminish the conflicts created by both programs.
Remove The Margins...
If you design a web page and want your top and/or left graphics to stick to the edge of your screen, add the following codes to your <Body> tag.
<Body TopMargin="0" LeftMargin="0" MarginHeight="0" MarginWidth="0">
The top, left margins are now set to "0", you can play with them to create your desired look!
