Part 6: Feedback.
You DO want people to tell you they like something?
1. Make it easy for visitors to tell you how much they enjoyed a
particular item on your site by putting an email link on every
page. Not everyone wants to sign a guest book, and if visitors
have to go back to the home page to find your email address they
might forget what they wanted to say by the time they've found
it!
2. For the same reason, a link to your guest book (if you have
one) should appear on every page.
Part 7: META Tags, so people can find you on their favourite
search engine
This is a somewhat "hit and miss" area of writing web pages,
because search engines all seem to work differently. The idea,
basically, is to use the words in your tag as many times on the
page as possible. If your site is devoted to your favourite
photos, for instance, you could place the word "photograph" in
your META tag and use it, and derivative words such as photo and
photographic, as much as possible in the page itself. If the
page includes, say, advice on choosing cameras and this word
appears on your page several times, placing "camera" in your
META tag would also be a good idea. Words placed in the META
tags are usually separated by a comma:
