Summary


This hour covered some extremely important territory by exploring how to provide hints to search engines (such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN Search, Alta Vista, Ask Jeeves, and Teoma) so that people can find your pages more easily on the Internet. You also found out how to make a page remember its own address and how to make a page load another page automatically. Table 23.2 lists the tags and attributes covered in this hour.
