In IE 7 browsers, the HTML title tag you entered will appear on the browser tab.

FIGURE 3-3

The Firefox browser shows the title tag in the browser tabs.

Figure 3-4 illustrates how that link might appear to users as they navigate a web page.

A link tag is combined with the anchor tag above. That link can be text-based, and that text is where

search engine optimization comes into play. How many times have you seen a web site that includes

text with underlined words, all of which are related to the topic covered on the site? Those links are

tagged for optimization. When a search engine crawler examines your web pages, it will look for

links like the one in the illustration.
