Dreamweaver, Web Page Development & CSS Resources 

 

Get Found!

What's the good of having a web site with great resources, if no one can find you. And this is a common problem with patrons. You can fix it!

  • Put your URL everywhere: on your business cards, signs, on the computer screen saver, on bookmarks, newsletters, anything that moves, get our URL out there.
  • Still, people don't usually remember URL's. They search for you. Do a web search (you pick your favorite search engine!) for your library. Is it easily found? In the top results?
  • Don't forget to give all your pages titles in the <head> section of your file. Include your library name in that title! Yes, on every page.
  • Footers on every page of your web site too - include the library  name, address, contact info. It's good to let people know which library's web site they're looking at. And the repetition of your library's name will help the search engines find you.
  • Is your library name at the top of every page? If so, is an image? Words that are  really images don't get indexed. You'll need to add 'alt' properties to all your images.
  • Wikipedia? Is your library listed? Why not? People use wikipedia - a lot!!! And it also helps the search engines find you. Add an article for your library and link to it from your town or organization's wikipedia entry.
  • Links to your site: Ask other town, school, area agencies, etc. if they'll link to the library. Don't go on a huge link trading campaign, that just gets annoying. But useful links to and from other appropriate agencies and businesss is useful.
  • Online Outreach  - great presentation by Sarah Houghton-Jan on how to make your library more findable.
  • Sign up for my Online Outreach class! Check the main page of this wiki and the calendar to see where and when it's going to be offered.
