Is your Website W3C compliant??
W3C is an acronym for World Wide Web Consortium, and while you
may not have heard of them before now, they set the standards
for the World Wide Web and websites on the web.
Structure and content are critically important to the success
of a website. The most frequent abuses of the ethical and Internet
standards of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) are headers used
excessively and needlessly, scripts written improperly, and keywords
used improperly.
W3C provides a free tool for you to evaluate your website for
compliance under the W3C professional and ethical standards of
website development and code: http://validator.w3.org/

provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation
of their domain name registration. Registrants must review their
Whois data, and make any corrections. (See ICANN
website for more information).

Don't "click here" & Don't "contact
us"
How often do you see a hyperlink on the words "click here"
or a link to a contact page that says "contact us"?
For the typical website developer, it is nearly second nature
to link information on a page to another page on the words "click
here", and to link to the contact page for the law firm,
the agency, or the business on the words "contact us".
When you review your website before publication, be sure to watch
out for those links. (Why
you should not do the "click here" and "contact
us" link).
