Use Title Tags to Educate and Stimulate
Have you ever noticed that when you move your mouse over a website image, a little text window sometimes pops up that, hopefully, gives you additional helpful information about something to do with the website? This is typically accomplished using what is known as “Alt” tags. In this article, you will be introduced to something even better and they are called Title tags.
What are “tags?” Tags are an HTML term to denote something that attaches or “tags” onto something on a web page. These tags are intended to enhance the item being attached to in some significant way.
What is a Title tag? Title tags are different from your page title and are a great way to further express or reinforce content already on the web page. Title tags can be used with a variety of things, but most often are used with either images or text. Before Title tags, there was no good way to further explain linked text on a web page. Title tags can be used with either images or text and can be used along with image Alt tags. They function in exactly the same way as Alt tags and have a similar format in the HTML code on a web page.
How can a Title tag help me? Title tags are very nice in that they can help you to further explain text or images throughout your website. You can use them for elements within a menu system and anyplace where you have linked text or images whether the images are linked or not. It is important that the Title tag content is relevant to the web page text associated with it and that the page being linked to is relevant as well. Since Title tags “pop up” on the web page, you can also use them as a sort of “call to action” since they definitely grab the visitor’s attention.
Whether a visitor to your website actually moves their mouse over your images and linked text or not, Title tags can still greatly benefit you. Search engines use Title tag content as part of their assessment of each page on your website. The more relevant your Title tag content is to your linked text and the content surrounding it, the better of a score you will receive.
You will find that by adding Title tags to your website, you will not only educate and stimulate your human visitors, you will also educate and stimulate search engine “bots” as well and this can only strengthen your position on the web. Get working on those Title tags today!

Youtube Tags and fake newscasts
- in addition to using Tags I also suggest using a video editing software to embed a line of text at the bottom of your video's to point to your site.
I've seen some video where people make their video's look like a news release from a news channel (made up news channel).
This is no different that submitting an ad in the newspaper and making it look like an article. Keep the video entertaining with some Richard Branson theatrics...
Re: Website Ranking #1 in all Search Engines
- To get ranking on Yahoo and Bing you need to have correct Meta Tags as proper optimization is something Yahoo and Bing prefers. Apart from that try to create backward links from Yahoo answers, Wiki answers, Associated content, Flickr. Yahoo prefers these sites and even nofollow links.

Another thing about posting your own thread is your Title becomes the title in search results.
It's why we want original topics to have their own thread. You'll get more "eyes" viewing and hopefully participating in the discussion.
I'll redirect to your new thread. Look forward to discussing your site, very interesting....

Re: On taking Action
- [quote="jvprosperity":1hd0zjku]I was surprised to not see the words along the lines of taking deliberate action within the article.
Do yo think it's an important part of the 6 points Evan summarized from the article or is it implied?[/quote:1hd0zjku]
Hi Andy,
I think taking deliberate action is implied in the six points. For instance, I interpret them as follows:
1. Set your sights on where you’re going - Write your goals down on paper.
2. Educate yourself - Read everyday about your field and even take courses on it.
3. Passion pays off - Enjoy what you're doing.
4. Grow your money - Invest your money.
5. No guts, no glory - Go out and sell your product/service/self everyday as if it were last.
6. The Biggest Secret? Stop spending. - Put aside as much money as you can into savings your account/retirement fund.
