A web link can be utilized in many different ways, the 3 most common that we will walk through are:

  1. Link to an internal webpage
  2. Link to an external webpage
  3. Link an image to a webpage

1. Link to an internal page:

Linking to an internal page is a great way to keep your visitors on your website longer. You can post links to product pages, information pages or contact pages. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will walk through how "How to Create a Webpage Tutorial" was create at the top of this page.

2. Link to an external page:

Link backs are an important part of increasing your search engine optimization. To learn more on how to increase your search engine presence, visit our How to Optimize Your Website Tutorial.

For the following example we will link to the HornerXpress website. By adding the following code:

<a href="http://hornerxpress.com">HornerXpress</a>

If you want to link to an outside website, but do not want your visitor to leave your website, use the following code:

<a target="_blank" href="http://hornerxpress.com">HornerXpress</a>

This will cause a new window or tab to be created with your link, HornerXpress.

3. Link an image to a webpage:
