This is a term which relates to the search engines. The meta tags are part of a webpage which appear way up at the top of the page under the title. When webmasters talk about meta tags, they generally mean to two pieces of code which are used to communicate with the search engines. There are a number of other meta tags but the ones that we are most concerned with are the description meta tag and the keywords meta tag. These two tags will not be seen by your visitors when they view your page in their web browsers. They contain information which is aimed at the search engines. Adding and working with meta tags used to be one of the most important parts in getting search engine traffic to your website. Today, largely due to their abuse, the meta tags are around 1% as important as they used to be.

The money bar is a collection of links which usually appear towards the bottom of a webpage. They are most common on one-page-wonders, or on the first few pages of a free site. The idea is that you provide a set of alternative places that your surfer can visit, should he or she not find something of interest on the page they have arrived at. As much as this appears to be your doing the surfer a good deed, and helping them find what they're looking for, there's a more important reason for doing this... MONEY! No matter what efforts you make to get people to your site who want to see the kind of material you have, there will ALWAYS be some folks who came here looking for something totally different. The money bar is a way to make something from those surfers who might otherwise simply leave. Money bars usually take the form of a table, with numerous rows and columns, each with a different niche link in it. You can see an example of a simple money bar in play at the bottom of this page: Example. Some webmasters link directly to the sponsor's paysites from their money bars, some to their own paysites or AVS sites, and others link to a full page ad. All are valid ways of making money.

Have you ever seen those sci-if movies, where the scientists are looking into a microscope, studying the ALIEN cells, and you see a close up of one cell dramatically split into 2 identical cells? That's exactly what mirroring a page is all about - creating an exact double of one of your adult webpages. But WHY? Let's imagine that you want to add your webpage to 20 link lists. Each of those links lists requires a nice big link back. Your page is going to get pretty crowded! If you 'mirror' the page, and put 10 of these links back on each page, that will make the job much easier. You must remember to submit the correct page to the correct link list (showing a link back to them). Mirroring is commonly an acceptable practice on the adult web, and a good way to build traffic because it lets you add ONE site to MANY link lists. It's also used on TGPs.
