New approach to find and manage information on the web in a contextual way! Do you need a guided tour?

The hyper link technology is most probably one of the oldest web technologies ever (learn more about what hyper link is). Here we will give couple of examples how a hyper link can be made in general and in the context of LinkedWords®' concept including some basic requirements to do so.

The way you make a hyper link on your web page depends on the web development software you are using and generally differs from program to program, yet experienced web professionals can easily do that simply by digging into the HTML code of the page by using simple text editor (Notepad, Textpad etc.).

A) Making simple hyper link in general:

1) Highlight the word, phrase, sentence or text area you'd like to turn into a hyper link. If you do not select any word before using the create hyper link options of the software you are using, your link will be created but without anything to click on.

2) Click on anything your software uses to insert/create hyperlink (for example: Macromedia(r) Dreamweaver(r) click on "Insert" -> "Hyperlink"). Most of the programs allow right click on the selected word/text in order to make the hyperlink.

3) A pop-up window will usually appear prompting you for a URL (web address) you'd like to link to. Type the URL in the text box. One should not forget to add the "http://" to the URL text box! If this create link option doesn't appear or seems not available in your program, or isn't working for some reason, you can type in the link by hand:

The HTML code:

<a href="http://domain12456.com/keyword.php">Keyword</a>

The working hyper link:

Keyword

In this example, the word "Keyword" would be the link to "http://domain12456.com/keyword.php". Usually it would show up as a blue underlined word on your page.

The key things to note are:

• The "a href" component must be enclosed in these kind of brackets <>. That lets the computer know you're entering HTML and not just typing word/text to be displayed;
• The web site you want to link to must be in quotes "", and must always start with "http://". If you don't have the "http://", the link probably won't work.
• Any text you type after the > that closes out the bit where you write the web site address will be the actual link that shows up on your page. The </a> tag lets the computer know that any text after </a> is just normal text and should not be part of the hyper link. Note: You have to put the </a> in, otherwise the rest of your text will be treated as a link, and it might probably cause other weird things to happen that you don't want.
  

B) Making hyper link in in the context of LinkedWords®' concept including some basic requirements to do so:

Unlike the simple text based hyper link demonstrated above, LinkedWords®' hyper linking is grammatical, contextual and meaningful, yet simple by its HTML structure. This practical example addresses only the unique approach of LinkedWords® doing contextual hyper linking assuming one can do a simple hyper link as shown on the example above.

1) The first step is to locate a word, phrase or sentence within the context of the content of your web page that you wish to be linked with LinkedWords®. In general this is the web page you would like to list with LinkedWords®' web platform in the form of contextual listing. Please note that LinkedWords® is the only web site on the web where you can list all of your web pages with our web platform regardless the number of your pages, 100, 100,000 or several millions.

Your key phrase as found within your page's content:

...contextual platform...

2) Once you have chosen the keyword / key phrase within the content of your page to be linked, you have then to lookup for exactly the same named keyword page at LinkedWords® where you would like to add your listing. In case such keyword or phrase is not available at the LinkedWords®' huge web platform (30,000,000+ keywords, phrases and sentences at present), there is an option, under each category and sub-category, to suggest and create in real time keyword pages, where to add your listings under, based on your specific keywords, phrases or sentences' needs and organize them under as many relevant categories and sub-categories as you wish.

The URL (web address) of exactly the same named keyword page at LinkedWords®' web platform:

http://www.linkedwords.com/computers/internet/www/semantic-web/contextual_platform.php

3) Once exactly the same named keyword page at LinkedWords® is found or created respectively, you have to take the URL (web address) of that particular page and link your keyword as found within the content of your page.

The HTML code:

<a href="http://www.linkedwords.com/computers/internet/www/semantic-web/contextual_platform.php">contextual_platform</a>

The working hyper link:

contextual platform

4) Once the keyword / phrase is linked within the content of your web page and leads to the corresponding keyword page at LinkedWords® as shown above, you then go to that particular page at LinkedWords® and obtain listing for your page (the page the linked keyword resides on) just in real time, which means your contextual listing, including a hyper link pointing back to your page, appears on LinkedWords®' keyword page immediately. Under conceptual requirements your contextual listing includes your keyword / phrase within the listing description, which LinkedWords®' web platform automatically links to point to your page.

Generally you highlight with your mouse the surrounding text of the keyword found within the content of your page, copy the selected text into your clipboard and paste within the form field at the time you are obtaining/creating your contextual listing.

Some basic things to make a note of:

• The "Target" of the hyperlink "_blank", "_parent", "_self", "_top". We would recommend leaving the hyperlink be default, yet some web masters prefer to use the "_blank" option, which opens the external hyper link in a new window. LinkedWords® has no special requirements toward organizing your hyperlink on your own page, you are free to use any type of link as long as it links your keyword, key phrase or sentence in the way explained above.

• Using "Titles" of the hyperlink - just like above LinkedWords® has no special requirements and makes no recommendations about adding titles to your hyper linked keywords, phrases or sentences, yet the vast majority of the experienced web masters now days are adding titles to their hyperlinks. In case you are considering to add a title to your hyperlink that points to the LinkedWords®, it should be the linked words. Putting titles of text-based hyperlinks
