Another thing I want you to notice: The links in the original version of maneeshsethi.com are text links, but in the new version they’re images.Why would anyone do text links? Well, they give you a much better position on search engines such as Google. Because many search engines read the links on each site, text links are rated far higher than image links.
Google puts a higher value on text links because many images are used for advertising, so text links make the search engine know that the link is informational and more useful.You can take advantage of this to drive traffic to your sites.
Now, you might be thinking that text links don’t look as good as images, but you can make them look a lot better with style sheets Those almost look like images, right? Well, they’re actually text links, and they really help run up traffic on his site. The reason they look stylish is because
of the boxes behind them. These boxes help emphasize the words. When you’re designing your Web site, you should experiment until you have the most attractive site possible.
Sometimes, however, you need to sacrifice pretty for functional. This means make sure your pages can be used by everyone first, before you make it look awesome. Sometimes you will have to substitute lower-quality pictures for higher ones because it speeds up the Web page, so make sure you test the site before you put it on the Web.
