• HTML links

  <A HREF="http://www.internet.com">test</A>

  <A HREF="index.html">Home</A>

• Image links:

<a href="index.html/"><img src="img/home.gif">

• Image Map links (Client-Side only)

<map name="client-side-map">
  <area shape="circle" coords="91,49,38"
     href="client-map-circle.html">
  <area shape="rect" coords="180,19,293,78" 
     href="client-map-rect.html">
</map>

• Framed pages (usually OK)

  <frame src="leftframe.html" name="LeftFrame">

• Write valid HTML!

• Check your links -- make sure all internal links go to real pages.

• Check for orphan pages, unlinked on the site
