It is essential to link all your different
pages together, with just a few clicks. As we have said
before, it should take a visitor no more than three clicks
to find what they want or they will probably give up and
leave.
You can create links to and from different pages, or to
other parts of the same page.
For example, a common useful link is to have a 'back to
the top' link, to take the user to the top of the page they
are currently on. To create such a link, type 'Back to the
Top' and highlight the words. In the properties window at
the bottom of the page, there is a box labeled link. In
this box write where the link wants to link to. (In this
case the top of the page) This would be ......
Links can be created between all the different pages of
the website. To do this select the text that will act as
the link and type in the box labeled link the name of the
page which you want your visitors to see.
For example if you want to link to your contact page, type
the link (e.g. contact us) and highlight the text. In the
link box in the properties window, type the name of your
contact page (i.e. the name which you saved the contact
page as.)
This is a link to our contact
us page. The words contact us were typed, highlighted
and the location of the contact us page (contact.htm) was
typed in the link box.
When a the text becomes a link it is coloured blue and is
underlined.
The html for the above contact link is as follows:-
<a href="contact.htm">contact
us</a>
This basically says that the file name is contact.htm
and the text displayed on the page is contact us. To produce
other links, simply replace the file name and the text with
the relevant information.
For example, a link to the home page would look like this:-
<a href="home.htm">home</a>
You can also link from website to website. To
do this simply type in the text that you want to appear
on your website, highlight it and in the link box in text
properties window, type the URL of the website that you
wish to link to.
For example this is a link to CosmicScripts.com
The html for the above link is as follows:-
<a href="http://www.cosmicscripts.com">CosmicScripts</a>
To change the site to which the link relates, simply
change the URL to whichever you choose and change the text
on the site accordingly.
For example to link to AllAffiliatePro,
the html would be:-
<a href="http://www.allaffiliatepro.com">AllAffiliatePro</a>
