Just because you and your friends have been using an acronym for an age, that doesn't mean everyone else knows what it means.
You might be thinking: "So why don't I just NOT use the acronym?" Because the opposite is sometimes true. If you were to say Universal Serial Bus, most people might just stare at you like you're talking ancient Greek. But if you said: USB, then all would be fine and dandy.
Plus, by adding in the full term, you're adding more keywords & key phrases into your web pages that the search engines will happily munch their merry way through.
9. A hard cell: using tables for layout is a crime!
Yes, yes, yes! I know! I've been there, I've done that. But now I'm reformed. I've gone clean and I'm now mending my ways, I'm here telling you about how tables can really mess things up for you and your website.
Remember how I compared the sea
You probably can’t give out the key to the city or even the key to the front office. But you can give out printed keyrings to encourage customers to think of you each and every time they unlock their doors. Some people collect keyrings while others toss them away. Make sure yours stands out before it ends up in the waste basket.Multi-Use KeyringsKeyrings don’t have to just hold keys and make jingling sounds, they can do so much more. Key chains with fabric loops make great for hanging on hooks in entryways and cramped office walls. For as little as ?0.19 a piece, you can find your business name on the keys and walls of thousands of potential clients.Rollerclip keyrings are perfect for men or women that need to keep their keys handy on their belt or waistband. The rollerclip keyring holds
Top tips for anyone wanting to make the most of their website
Here's my top tips for giving your website or specific web pages a lift and infusing them with some of the good stuff!
1. Sound like your dad: be an authority
Authority is essential. You need to speak (well, write) with an air of authority. Talk about your chosen topic in a manner that draws upon your knowledge and experience. Be passionate, too. People will pick up on this and feel compelled to read on. But don't try too hard. No one likes to feel that they’re being talked down to from their dad!
2. Engage, don't bore: keep the reader happy
Sometimes, a given topic can be a little dry, a little dusty, a little staid.
If you must, get yourself a copywriter. If you must, dig deep and spend money on getting someone involved who knows how to write engaging, lively copy (that’s another word for text) that will breathe life into your web pages.
3. Entitled to everything: make the titles stand out!
When you're building your copy, build a hierarchy into your pages by using the titles. Make sure that you use your titles well. Using the right keywords & key phrases is essential.
Think about the names of your products & services. Think about the phrases that people are likely to type into to the likes of Google, Yahoo! MSN and Ask when performing a search and use those phrases in your titles.
4. Highlights: pick out the text that matters
If you need to highlight a special word or phrase, to give extra emphasis, try emboldening or italicizing. This highlighting of words tells the search engines that those words have extra meaning within the copy.
5. Standard-bearer: flying the flag for standards compliance
Being compliant with the web standards isn't just about accessibility, it's about ensuring that the search engines can make the most of what you've possibly spent good time and money building.
Think of the search engines as really fussy readers. If your web pages contain lots of waffle (having too much useless code in your web pages), then the search engines will just get bored and go somewhere else instead – maybe to your competitors, even!
So if you take the time to do things right, you get a two-for-the-price-of-one deal. On the one hand, your website is on its way to being accessible to people with physical or visual disabilities, while on the other hand, you’re helping the search engines do their thing.
6. Back to basics: break out the dictionary and check your spelling
Spell check your copy. There's nothing worse than bumping through a website when nearly all of the web pages are chock-full of typos. No amount of design niceness will make up for that. Plus, you lose credibility. No excuses ... oh, and check your grammar, too.
7. Image is everything: be picture-perfect with the right words
Sticking images into your web pages is all good and well, but that's only the beginning. If you want to squeeze each & every last drop of value and effort out of those images, use the ‘alt’ attribute on the ‘img’ tag within your HTML code:
alt="this is a picture of my dog Meg!" align="right" />
This attribute is your chance to describe the image. Maybe it’s a tree, or a cat, or even you! Well say so. Type a succinct but clear description of that image.
When you’re hunting for images with Google and Yahoo!, how do you think those guys know what you're looking for? Be relevant and be descriptive.
As an added bonus, if the image in question is a picture of one of your products, type the product name in there. This is your chance to add in more keywords & key phrases.
8. FYI: make acronyms work for your text, not against it
It's pretty safe to assume that it's never safe to assume. If you must use acronyms in your copy, then make sure that you use the acronym tag:

Marketing healthcare products to physicians requires tact and skill. Trust is very important, since physicians are always on the lookout for reliable sources of information on healthcare products.

If you are going to run a car wash fundraiser for a nonprofit group it makes sense not to waste the water especially since the water is probably being donated by a business, which has allowed you to use their parking lot.Most garden hose outlets in commercial centers run at about 10 gallons per minute and if you simply let the water run the entire time that you're having your car wash fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. then you will use 10 GPM X 240 minutes = 2,400 gallons of water and that is only if you use one garden hose.If you're using two garden hoses to watch the cars you can expect to use almost 5000 gallons of fresh water and there really is no sense in wasting that kind of water to have a fundraiser to teach the kids the value of money by making them earn their own money in their car wash fundrais

Remember how I compared the search engines to really fussy readers? Well, it's worse than that. Imagine you had this huge Microsoft Excel file with thousands upon thousands of columns and rows. Now imagine having to navigate that spreadsheet with only the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Nightmare.
When you use tables for content on a website, the search engines have to dig down through those tables to get to the content. This is bad. In fact, it gets worse still. Not only do the search engines have to do this, but anyone with physical or visual disabilities using a screen reader application will have to do the same, too.
Plan the design of your web pages thoroughly and use the proper 'div' tag to position your content:
Hello World!
If you're going to use tables, use them for what they were designed for: tabulated data and not images and text.
