    pop ups without any javascript.

    One for any webcoders out there.

    I want to be able to open cut down browser windows without using any javascript.

    I need to be able to define the usual stuff such as will it have a scroll bar, will there be a nav bar etc.

    Any thoughts?

    For an example visit www.richardtulip.com

    I need to open a window just like that.

    can u use any scripting languages?

    thinking back to my i.e. 3 days and the browsewrs wars :D :D :D JScript and VBScript will both create pop-ups, thats the onyl controlled way to do this.

    If you can't use any scripting language the target attribute may be a clumsey way round this - but you wont have the control.

    You can't do anything serverside as its all clientside.... scripting languages are the only way.

    Hmmm good question. The problem is that google wont parse javascript so where as that popup should count as a link to the domain the popup is on (www.powertext.co.uk) it does not so we don't get a higher ranking accordingly.

    I could just get people to drop in a link alongside the javascript I send them but I am looking for a more eloquent solution.

    I considered using dhtml popups but I’m guessing that seeing as they aren’t real browser windows that it still wont count as a google-parsable link.

    I don't mind if the window opens full screen but is then shrunk immediately, we could also use javascript to do this but is it possible to remove all the browser clutter?

    Thanks for any ideas.

    could un not use "return false" to direct the spiders to the page?

    Those that have javascript enabled wont be effected but u can still be spidered.

    in my lil magic office....
    We're having loads of problems cracking google. Got yahoo etc., cracked with pay-per-click but google gives me a headache. Any tips?

    I understand google ranks based on link popularity so is getting people to link to your site the only way to get higher up?

    Good keywords seems to be half the battle but nothing works better than getting links to yr site.

    Paul the first thing to do is not think google as a SE but more as a user... it don't work like normal search engines.

    heres my top 13 tips. (can't think of 15)

    1. Write it as if u were writing for a person not a SE
    2. Put keywords in the title.
    3. keywords in inbound links.
    4. keywords at top of the page.
    5. appropriate keyword densitity (5-10%)
    6. internal link structure (a good site map can help immensly.)
    7. content, google likes content
    8. don't target 1 word keywords initially
    9. don't target unqualified or unrealistic terms (ie teen sex)
    10. don't stuff keywords or use hidden text.
    11. don't hyperlink mirror sites.
    12. don't create mirror sites.
    13. don't use splash pages or redirect pages.

    14. don't use javascript *Snigger* google will follow somelinks i.e. <a href onlclick> jobbies, but if the javascript hides the links (if its in a <script> tag) it'll be ignored :D
