OT [SixClub] Six Club Needs help

[Jerry Gault]

FYI, Keywords have been dropped from all but AltaVista search engine. It was
too easy for search engine optimizers to spam that tag, it's virtually
useless now. Sure, add it... But not having it won't hurt your rankings. The
most important tags are "Title" and "Description"... And most important,
good quality content.

Just as a suggestion:
As American readers and most of Europe start at the left, and look at the
left first it would make sense for those looking at links to be on the left.

If the links are something the readers are going to be specifically looking
for they normally would go where they look first. If they are secondary to
the information  and Google is a good example, they put them on the right to
be less intrusive.  IE you put what you wish to call attention to on the
left and the secondary information on the right.

OTOH, links can go where ever is appropriate, or handy including as hot
links in the text itself.  There is no rule as to what is more appropriate,
just what the programmer prefers.

For those unfamiliar with HTML coding "Key words" is an HTML Meta tag
contained within the HTML page header along with the titile and description.

Those are the most likely to show up in searches, rather than links
contained within the page.  You'd be surprised at now many words beginning 
with an "A" Show up in Key Words.   <:-)) When viewing a page you only see 
the title listed

Oh, now if they could only get Front Page to create a page without all those
definitions and witout formatting every line, or word to do a *neat*
conversion to save as HTML. <sigh>  Both create the epitomy of "bloat code".


Good luck on the page and have fun.
