Define URL: URL Definition

URL is an Acronym for “Uniform Resource Locator”

To Help Define URL, it is an address for a web page or blog page, or for that matter, any page on the Internet. I know that this will be a simplistic URL definition, but think of it as a page in a book. Go to page 53. Page 53 is the address (URL) for the information, pictures, text, or short story, etc., that you are looking for (thus, being searched). I could use other examples, but this should be adequate.

Now, to define the URL address, it might be the address of a Web site’s Home Page, Contact Page, Sitemap, Image File or any of the inside pages, sub pages, or directories of a website. Another useful, but not great analogy, would be to think of the Internet as one “Big Book” with lots of “Sections” (Websites, Blogs, etailers, etc.). There’s a “URL address” for each and every page.

When visiting a webpage, or blog page, glance up to the address bar in your browser. As you click through from one page to the next, you will see that the URL address changes.

The beginning of the URL http address indicates what protocol is being used:

http://

http://www.

(Both protocols in the above examples will work) “but,” start to prefer
just http://, it is easier and the (www.) is implied.

IMPORTANT: Learn to use ‘one’ URL protocol form or the other for all your future web development purposes, this could be very important with regard to search engine rankings. This is a saturation issue. You need to guide those [Read more →]

THE MOST IMPORTANT META TAG IS THE “TITLE”
Search engines give weight to the words found in the meta Title Tag, and even more weight if those words are also found in the page content (Page Text). These important words are called keywords. So, use the best keywords to make your Title as descriptive as possible and make sure you include them in your page’s content.

TITLE META TAG:

HTML found at the top of Source Page between the <head> and </head>.
<head>
<title> Silk Flower Design: Learn How To Make Beautiful Silk Bridal Bouquets </title>

</head>

GENERAL RULE:

The Title Meta Tag: Range of 60-100 characters in length, including spaces. However, a Total Character count of “68” should be the high-end benchmark. More characters than 68 can become truncated with the familiar(…), depending on the search engine.

Truncated sentences generally look incomplete. Sometimes truncated sentences cannot be avoided, but make every attempt to prevent them here. Clean, Crisp and well worded titles will immediately portray a professional image.

Plus, this is your first, and maybe only hook after the surfer’s keyword search results appear in the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). You are initially competing with at least 10 other results, plus the advertisers and sponsors utilizing the same keywords.

For the Title meta Tag do not begin with the domain name (i.e., silkflowerdesigners.com.) and do not repeat the domain name in the title.

(Advanced) Generally do not use the filename as the title tag or domain name as the filename. These latter points can be considered as SPAM

EXAMPLES:

Let’s say you are going to develop a “Silk Flower Designer Website” with the Domain Name or URL of — http://SilkFlowerDesigners.com

An “INCORRECT” Title Meta Tag Application Would Be:

<title>SilkFlowerDesigners.com the Silk Flower Designers Supply Site.</title>

LOOKS Great though!

This meta Title Tag contains 62 Characters including spaces.

Do not use – ‘SilkFlowerDesigners.com’ in the meta title tag.

A much better Title Meta Tag would be:

“CORRECT” TITLE META TAG APPLICATIONS:

<title>Silk Flower Design: Learn How To Make Beautiful Silk Bridal Bouquets</title>

This Title Meta Tag contains 68 Characters including spaces.

Or this Meta Title Tag:
