First there are two <meta> tags.

The meta keywords tag looks like this:

<meta name=”keywords” content=”keyword 1, keyword 2, …”>

You would select a few of the most important keywords for your page to put here. When I say “a few”, I really mean just a few. Putting dozens or hundreds of “keywords” that you don’t even use on your page just means that the whole thing will be at best ignored. At worst, you can be punished for trying to cheat by putting keywords in there that are clearly not a part of your site.

In fact, at this time it appears that putting keywords in the meta keywords tag is probably not going to help your site. So many people cheated on it that Google no longer will count it for you.

Then there is the meta description tag. It’s pretty self-explanatory.

<meta name=”description” content=”This is the description of my site I want to appear in a Google search.”>

Finally, there is the page title.

<title>Your page title text goes here</title>

Your page title shows at the very top of the browser window in the blue bar. It also displays as the text for your link, if your page is indexed on Google.

The page title for this page is “SEO – In your document head | Help4flirts – Mozilla Firefox” if you are viewing this post as a single post, and “HTML, design, and graphics tutorials for flirts, PSO’s, and the adult entertainment industry – Mozilla Firefox” if you are viewing it in the main index view.

You really want your page to have a title that reflects what the page is about. Names like Untitled Document (18,000,000 pages) and Page title (598,000,000 pages), or Home (4,520,000,000 pages), well let’s just say they aren’t going to set you apart from your competitors, or anyone else for that matter.

Using somebody else’s site name as the page title on your site entry page? Skeezy.

In my last entry I gave instructions on how to clean up Photohostess links by editing them. That is no longer necessary. I have created a page that you can enter your image url, which will give you a working image link to copy.

There is also a second form which will generate a working link. So you can use it to create HTML code for payment mail buttons, image links to your blog, or whatever you want.

There is a third form you can use to create text links.

You must enter naked links with no tags. There should be no spaces in your links. If you miscopy, it will create HTML code for you that just won’t work. If you are making payment mail buttons, copy the plain HTML link from the window that comes up after you create or edit your payment mail button, not the popup that links from the payment mail index and provides you with a gray payment mail button code.

These are standard links. They will work with any text or image anywhere you need an HTML image or link code on the web. They will not modify your image size for you.

Pick your options, type your text in the Header text box and a paragraph of text in the Text area, and click the button. If you don’t like it, you can keep editing, because your text will stay in that box as long as you work on it.

All the text will run in together into one giant paragraph. Where you want a line break, copy and insert this: <br><p> into your listing edit window when you go to edit your listing.

That’s it!

Hopefully this will encourage you to learn a little more HTML.

If you know what that is, you may be as happy as I am, because right now I am streamlining all my listings and getting rid of every damned bit of inline formatting and html formatting. Yeah!

If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry about it. I may write some tutorials about it sometime, but it’s kind of a broad subject.

Somebody can now check to see if we can reference external javascript files, please. I won’t get to it at least until next week.

To get placed more highly in a Google search (who doesn’t want that?), you need to make Google think you’ve got a damned fine site. The higher the PR (Page Rank) you’ve got, the better a site Google thinks you’ve got, and the higher you will come up in a search for your chosen keywords.

One of the ways you do this is by getting links from other sites like yours.

One of the things Google looks at when deciding how good a site you have is incoming links. They look at how many sites are linking to you and what kind of sites they are. The people who wrote the algorithm decided that the more highly ranked sites you have linking to your site, the better quality your site is.

So if you’ve got a site that lots of people with good sites think their readers will want to read, they’ll link to you and you may get a boost out of this. The best way to do this is to start by having quality content on your site. Update your content regularly and people will return to see what’s new. They’ll give you links.

Of course, there are other ways to get links. Some sites will trade links with you. Google looks at links like this and sees that they are reciprocal, which means the two sites link to each other. A link like this is not worth as much to Google, but you may get some good traffic out of it.

When you make a reciprocal link, you should place the site’s link at least as well as they have placed yours. So if they link to your front page, you can link to their front page. If they’ve got a “links” page, you can put their link on your links page or on your front page. But be nice. Don’t hide their link someplace on your site if they are giving you a link to your front page. I have offered to trade links with girls who wanted me to link to their front page, while they were putting my link on a page that was behind a tiny text link. Another girl offered me a link on a password-protected page that nobody but flirts whose banners were on the page had the password to.

It’s the same with topsites. If they want you to host their image, then upload it to your site and link to the image there. Otherwise, use the code they gave you and put the link on the page you gave them.

Here’s a banner for this site:

The url for the image is
http://help4flirts.com/banners/banner.gif.
The code for linking is
<a href="http://help4flirts.com/"><img src="http://help4flirts.com/banners/banner.gif" border="0"></a>

I had to type that out in strange characters for you to see that. In order for the linking code to actually show up the way they need to copy it, you need to either type it in special html characters, format it with <pre></pre> tags:
<pre><a href="help4flirts.com/"><img src="http://help4flirts.com/banners/banner.gif" border="0"></a></pre>

your linking code

See how I didn’t actually put the linking code in there? This one doesn’t work in WordPress.

Or you can put it in a textarea. “Cols” is the number of columns. Put more to make the textarea wider. “Rows” is the number of rows. You can increase or decrease, but you want the entire code to show without too much wasted white space.
<textarea cols="40" rows="3"><a href="http://help4flirts.com"><img src="http://help4flirts.com/banners/banner.gif" border="0"></a>
<a href="http://help4flirts.com/"><img src="http://help4flirts.com/banners/banner.gif" border="0"></a>

You can use any of these in an html page. You can’t use the ‘pre’ tags in WordPress.

Here’s a big chart of color names. There’s no guarantee that they will work on Niteflirt, but if you like one that doesn’t, just copy the hex code, hashmark and all, and put it instead of the color name.
