Search Engine Optimization for dummies

d

You have a cool Web site, and a really great product, service, or cause you want people to know about. But visitors aren’t beating down your cyber-door. What happened? The answer, most likely, is that you haven’t made your site irresistible to search engines.

Search engines have a great deal of control over the volume of traffic a Web site gets, because they put your site in front of people searching for your product or service. If you know the secrets of wooing the search engines, you can

• Gain greater visibility for your site


• Advance your position in the rankings


• Avoid techniques that cause search engines to bump your site to the end of the list


• Make pay-per-click advertising pay off

Java Script for dummies

JavaScript has evolved quite a bit since its earliest days, from a relatively basic scripting language to a full-blown programming language in its own right. You can use JavaScript to create even more breathtakingly cool Web sites than ever before. You’ve probably seen Web sites with the following features:

• Images that change when your mouse moves over them


• Slide-show animations


• Input forms with pop-up messages that help you fill in the fields correctly


• Customized messages that welcome repeat visitors

All of these features (and much more) can be created with JavaScript. The thing is, JavaScript isn’t easy to use. The JavaScript language itself has become more complex than its earlier incarnations – but that’s where his new, improved, better-tasting edition of JavaScript For Dummies comes in! Even if you’re not a crackerjack programmer, you can use the techniques and sample scripts in this book to create interactive, "intelligent" Web pages bursting with animated effects.
