HTML Web site Design Shortcuts
has compiled a high quality collection of free, online resources and tools for search engine ranking, optimization
and Web site development.
Here are a few helpful tactics:
Finding the Ranking of a WebSite
If you use the undermentioned url you can get Google to number the results of a search - and you get 100 results per page. However you must search for the “TITLE” of your websites, because no description is added to this “Google simple search”. However, the “Title Attribute” displays the “Meta Description” once the cursor is held over the link. Another option is to make your Website into an “ACTIVE LINK” in the browser (usually purple).

If you want to search Google regularly for your websites’ keyword rankings:
An effective technique for finding a website’s ranking in all search engines quickly and accurately!
In Google, Fast and in Yahoo you use “advanced search” and change the results to 100 per page. In AltaVista and in Msn (my preferences) change the results to 50 per page.
Put in your appropriate keyword - get the “search results”
Press the “Control F” Keyboard shortcut simultaneously in *Internet Explorer…
Put your URL in the “Find what” search box…
(Copy your url & press “Control V” (paste) after that)
Or- on I.E. 6 and above, press “Control G” (find again)
Press “Find Next”… other “enter” keyboard button …
You will automatically scroll down to your hightlighted website’s listing.
–> Keep pressing “Find Next” to find other pages from your Domain.
(This technique works even better in Netscape 6+ because the query is cached in the find box and the box stays up as you navigate to different pages.)
(The approximately percentage near the bottom 1-100%, represents the approximate RANKING of your site 1-100. You can then refine your search.)
(If you don’t want to use “Control F” using “Edit “–> “FIND (on this page)” in the browser menu bar will do.
(If you anticipate going through many pages, copy & past (Control V) after “Control F”) Or- “Edit”–> “FIND NEXT”
Put your URL in EXACTLY as it appears in the search engine.
Each page represents 100 web sites, so page 2 will start at 101-2, page 3 from 201-300 etc. Also the results will vary slightly depending on whether the “Compact” or “Expanded” Results view is on.
Time Saving Tips for Hand Coders / HTML Pros using NotePad
You do not have to FTP and refresh continuously when designing a web page to access your changes
Just open the “view source” when on the Internet of the page you want to change
Pull down “Note Pad”
copy and paste - or - type your text - or create a NEW page
==============================
for any images that are on the server you are coding or making a change to a page from and watnt to see exacty how it will appear
Use the following CODE in the head
Code:
<base href=”http://www.url.com/“>
(of course -www.url.com- will be changed to your site’s
domain name / home directory ….
if you dont need to see the images - don’t use the code…
Save the notepad page as whaterver.html
on to the “Desktop”
You can now instantly make changes by refeshing the HTML page that has been on the desktop - instead of making round- trip refreshes to the sever to see the results of your “tweak”ing.
After everything if Perfect - then upload or paste to the server…
