Hi all, thank you for coming in
I use front page and it has what it calls borders. top, bottom, l & r
how do they effect SEO?
are they given any consideration or are they conisdered to be part of the whole page.
do you think that using borders is beneficial or has a negative effect?
Hi,
Border is just a HTML tag for design used in Table, TD properties of HTML. They have no direct relation with SEO
Following tags have direct relation with SEOH1 to H7 header tags
paragraph tag
bold, italic, strong, em tags
ALT tag in image and Title tag in linksHi again,
so then the content found in my “top border” section would be viewed by a search engine the same as it would if that content on the top border were just on the page? Or would the content found in the top border section be viewed by search engines as being a site-wide logo section … so to speak.
sorry I don’t know the proper terms. I hope somebody can understand what I’m trying to say.
again I appreciate your coming in and patience.
I would suggest to invest some time into learning Dreamweaver if you _must_ use a WYSIWYG editor
Front page is like death to a web designer.. i shudder at the thought…
Let me know if you need any help – id be more than happy to give you some pointers
I will take example of this website
http://onestopslots.com/see text in upper border portion starting with “I hope you’ll click to” in this border tag has nothing to do with SEO, but the text you placed in that which comes as common in all pages is the crawlers which index before the other portion of your page. If you see this website, i can say that you can make it very good with nice HTML tags and CSS which i will say 50% improvement from existing website
Thanks so much all.
explains a lot why I’ve had as much trouble as I’ve had.
so I’m best off to just leave the border stuff alone with perhaps exception being the bottom.
I still am very basic with css so figuring out how to make a navigation area (I don’t even know the right term lol) … will be my next best move I think.
…. sigh. times were so much easier when you could buy some traffic and run them thru a page of links. I can remember saying (and confidently) that I could make more money than the best web designer (if they didn’t know how to market) because as ugly as my sites were ..and believe me today they’re great compared to then (that’s how bad they were) .. I could still kick butt because people couldn’t wait to get off my site lol … and if you had traffic running thru … it was profitable.
not so today.
Renee. I have tried dreamweaver and gave up shortly afterwards. My biggest fear about getting it now is spending the money (which I can’t really afford to spend foolishly right now) and then giving up on it.
I barely know how to use front page (and using it 10 years now lol) which is going to be a problem sooner than later since they stopped making it and I suspect it won’t be long before the SEs punish those that use front page because of all the extra crap it adds.
well anyway you’ve all pointed me in the right direction and maybe I’ll ask Santa for dreamweaver.
thanks again!
Some of us manage to do allright building sites with Frontpage.

I dont doubt that for a second, it’s just not the most ideal program because of all the junk it adds as bb1 said. Not sure how it is these days but I remember a long long time ago it used to put everything in frames too.
You could always be old school like me and go back to using notepad :tongue:
The version I have doesn’t add much junk at all, and I can edit what little bloat that’s in there out pretty quickly. It definitely doesn’t put everything in frames either.

Good topic bb1webs as I am in the same boat as you, using front page and not to good with it. I just bought a new domain and trying to learn Coffeecup program, Not knowing where to start. LOL
Coffee Cup: I tried the free 30 day (or 60 or whatever) free trial and never got around to using it much.
I did notice it is much different than front page but it seemed like it was learnable where as dreamweaver (this probably 8 yrs ago) was overwhelmingly strange.
I think Dreamweaver is much easier to use if you have a basic knowledge of HTML since the menus insert code automatically for you… if you want to produce mass amounts of code quickly, this can sometimes be a better option than notepad or a text based editor..
One of the girls at work has a background in industrial design and wanted to learn how to make websites, so I sent her on a day course to learn the basics of Dreamweaver and she said having no prior knowledge of html or Dreamweaver, she thinks that since someone showed her how to use it, it was the best thing she could have done.
I’d be more than happy to go through it with you if you’d like to learn the basics…
