The use of site wide links can be quite beneficial. A site-wide link is usually placed on every page of your website and will link back routinely to the same core page each time. Links to "contact us" pages and pages where customers can place orders are two common uses for site-wide links. These links usually appear on the bottom of the page so that they are easily viewable. You can also consider having the site-wide links formatted as a menu. For some, the menu style format is preferred over placing them at the bottom. The choice depends on how you want the site to flow. It is important that your menu order makes sense. Also be sure to include short descriptions of the items listed in your menu.

Meta tags are important components of your HTML design. Although visitors can't see them, search engines will detect these and figure out how to categorize your website. Place the most relevant meta tags at the top of your page, as these are given more consideration. Try to avoid creating a meta tag of every keyword you can think of as that will look suspicious to the search engine crawlers. Limit the tag content to your top keywords and a few of your secondary keywords for optimum effectiveness. It is important to identify which keywords will be most effective to properly use these tags.

HTML tags, also known as H Tags, are used to mark how important a text is. If you want your text to appear in large and bold characters, use the tag <h1>. These tags need to be applied to your titles and the most important paragraphs. Use the <h1> tag for the main title and save the <h2> and <h3> tags for subsection headings and to highlight important short passages. This will make it easier for your visitors to read your page and it will help search engines to identify your website's important content. The benefits of including keywords in your titles cannot be overlooked.

The internet is unique in its culture in that, once in a while, a website, video or even a picture will become a "buzz". "Buzz" means that users often refer to it and share it. A lot of "buzz" tends to have a short-life span, but you could still see an increase in sales if your video goes viral. It's hard to predict what will go viral, but by focusing on clever, current content, you increase the likelihood that it will be seen and shared. Although there is a lot of luck involved in creating a viral hit, there are some common threads that seem to run through viral content.
