Browsers and Tabs

Tabbed browsing is something that has become very popular during the last few years. Tabbed browsing was available many years ago, but browsers like Internet Explorer did not support this feature. Since Windows operating systems are usually shipped with Internet Explorer, most people did not have a chance to enjoy this feature until it was many years after it was originally released. Anyway, tabbed browsing is all about allowing multiple pages to be contained within a single window, using tabs as a navigational widget for switching between websites. It is very convenient and I encourage you to try it out.

Building Deep Links

Deep links are links on your site that point to other pages on your website. There are a few reasons why a person would want to build deep links. One of the most important reasons is that it will allow visitors to easily find other pages on the site. Otherwise, a webmaster might have many interesting pages on his site that nobody is visiting. Another reason to build deep links is to make sure that search engines will show all of the pages of your site in search results. This will probably results in increased traffic, which is always a good thing.

Something You Should Avoid

I have been writing lately about many things a webmaster should do in order to get ranked well in search engines. This time I would like to write about something that webmaster should avoid doing. Black hat SEO consists of tactics that attempt to trick search engines in various ways. It might be invisible text stuffed with keywords or perhaps link farm spamming. The reason to avoid black hat SEO is that it is unethical and if you are caught by search engines, then your rankings might suffer. Overall, it is simply not worth it, but I am sure that most webmasters are not really considering using such techniques.

Political Campaigning and the Internet

After following this year’s political campaign in the United States, I realized that political campaigning has changed a lot for the last couple of years. Political candidates use the Internet as a tool that can help them spread their political campaign. How many political leaders can you meet on Twitter or Facebook? The answer is many. Social networks are not only used by individuals such as you and me, but they are also used by political candidates and leaders to spread the news and their campaign. Some senators are even known for sending messages on Twitter even a few times per day.

Newsletters

Did you ever signed up to any newsletter? People sign up to newsletters because they would like to receive some useful information in the future. If you have an online business or even a blog, then you might want to encourage your visitors to sign up fro a newsletter. The advantage of it is that people will not forget about your site as they will be reminded about it on a regular basis. Some webmasters send newsletters on a weekly basis, while others send on a monthly basis. It really depends on you as there is no magic formula. Just make sure that your newsletter are informative.
