The user needs to navigate through a site to locate information and features and have a clear view of their current position in the site. The navigation can have few or a lot of categories.
Why use more than 1 level of navigation
The question here is not if the navigation has to been horizontal or vertical. The tabular metaphor is well-known in user interface and facilitates easy navigation between groups of information. By showing the current position in the two topmost levels the users know where they are and can also jump to other categories.
Use When
Tabs provide context. They offer the ability to give visual indication of a user’s location within a body of information.
Tabs provide navigation. They provide the ability to navigate the site.
The number of elements in the toplevel and in the second level each are less than 10.
The category titles are relatively short.
Users want to see where they are now.
You need to indicate the user’s current location in the set of available options.
Users want to know how to get back to the main page
Solution
Present a single-line row of tabs in a horizontal bar under the site branding and header.
The first tab in the top-level is reserved for the home page if there is not any other “Home” destination.
When the list of categories becomes too long, consider using a vertical navigation.
The selected tab should come forward in terms of prominence from the other tabs. Unselected tabs should sit back visually to reinforce the notion of where the user is via the selected tab.
The page that is delivered by selection of the tab should be visually connected to the tab via design cues: color, brackets, borders etc. Selection of another tab redraws the entire page and presents the new information tied to the new selection.
Never stack multiple rows of tabs as this leads to confusion about the selected layer versus inactive layer.
The topmost tabular is always visible while the other tabular changes depending on the current top-level selection.
How to keep safe your data over time,
This question is coming up with my “digital” photos, everday we take pictures and everyday we have more and more pixels so bigger and bigger files …. But were to put them and how be sure not to lose them.
I have found this on the web, very tool for your outlook.
It’s a whole new look at your email:
Xobni is the Outlook plug-in that saves you time finding email conversations, contacts and attachments.
After a quick install, you’ll see the new Xobni toolbar appear in Outlook - and suddenly information will become much easier to find. When a new email arrives, the sender’s full communication history appears in the Xobni sidebar, including past conversations, attachments and contact details. Xobni also includes a blazing fast email search tool.
So after having a good title on your page you have to create a related content on the page.
Here are the main rules :
Gold rule : you need page with CONTENT
Seems logical but it’s the base, you have to have the same words in the content than in your title, put those words also in your content heading
Only visible text, finish to hidden content like “sex” to have more visit, isn’t working anymore
Bold, Title (H1,2…), link,… give info to Google what is important for you
All pages must be linked
I will point this later on, but inside links are VERY important
The name of the links avoid « more info » « more » (anchor text)
Occurrence : Repeat yourself on the same page (3-4 times the key word)
One language
Use : female, male, singular, plural
Synonimes
This one seems logical but it’s one of the most important, try to use all the possibles words surfers can use to find your page. A very good tools : Google trends
Here are the others rules :
Localization of the text top > bottom in weight
Size of the page (100 words minimum but 1 theme)
Ratio of density 3-5 % = number of keywords/total of the words on the page
Proximity of the words between them
Order of the word (“travel to marocco” and “marocco travel”)
Don’t forget to be technically correct
Use html balise
Use CSS
Try to be W3C correct, you can check your page directly on
My tips
use Google Trends to select which word/synomim you use
use firefox addons to make your live easier
for the link “more info” if you use an image and you have not other choice one solution is to use the alternate text of the image to give the information needed to the Search Engines
If you use Gmail (free webmail), you have 6 Gig of space, seems a lot for e-mail but now you can turn it into a FREE virtual harddrive

GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag’n'drop files to.
If you have to do 1 optimization THEN IS THE TITLE
It’s you BRAND IMAGE
It’s what you see en top of the page, on google result and when save a bookmark
That’s what make the surfer « clic »
How to improve it:
-Between 6 to 7 description words without stop words
-Every page has its own title
-Avoid generic terms like « Welcome on our website »
-Title has to give as much « keyword » as possible
-Title is the resume of the page
-One langue in the title
-Title must be more and more clear and describe the structure of the page
-It has to be a sentence to give people to need to clic
My tips
- Well, The most important thing is to try to have something like a sentence but a list of the most keywords linked to the page content.
For an home page if you take my example “Siemens électroménager” (home appliances) when I took the main product families to start, then the main big services
Well i have a personnal e-mail link to my internet provider but this one receive so much spam that at the end time is waisted.

I’m starting from today to write on online manual how to use Google and all the existing tools in you daily work.
First things to do : CREATE a Google Account (Gmail account).
What’s Google Account or a Gmail Account Gmail is for “G” for Google and “mail” for e-mail
It’s the webbase solution from Google to have an e-mail address.
But more than that it’s the central login system us by Google to log on all it’s differents tools. It’s really you futur “Google Account”, you will have to use it to register to all the services propose by Google from youtube, Google for Webmaser to Google Calendar…
Hints when creating your Account When creating this account, create it not with your name but with your company/department name. So if somebody take your job over you can give him/her the login and password without “personnal information”.
e.g. of the e-mail/login : companyname_yearofcreation@gmail.com.
Google est en orbite. Le moteur de recherche désormais célèbre pour son site de visualisation de la Terre en trois dimensions, Google Earth, est passé à l’étape suivante. Il a en effet annoncé hier un projet commun avec l’agence spatiale américaine, la Nasa. L’entreprise californienne dont la trésorerie est évaluée à 7 milliards de dollars va-t-elle à présent s’attaquer à la conquête de Mars ou de la Lune?
