Having a list of links showing up in a template window

I am looking for a good easy tutorial a newbie will understand on how
to have any page of links show up in a template window, ie. where a
webpage has a few links on it, clicking on any link will show the link
in a new window, whose dimensions/boder e.t.c are determined in the
template?

Don't you think that, if you need to ask for help on such a simple
request, you're hardly ready to be advertising SnakEOil services in
the same article?

Especially when your own site is so badly written.

I say! That's my saying <g>

I do like the way you arrange it however, SEO -> SnakEOil

Is that why your pages are missing some SEO effort Matt? I told you
before, you probably could do much better ;-)

I didn't invent that construction - I saw it first in someone else's
post and decided to adopt it.

I think you are refering to the 52,000+ pages which comprise The
Probert Encyclopaedia.

These pages get over 40,000 visitors a day, requesting roughly 100,000
HTML pages from the site.

I'd say people can find what they are looking for. I certainly hope
so. I'm not interested in tricking search engine users into accessing
a page about the Lake District when they are really looking for
pornographic up-skirt shots.

This site was developed to provide data to serious researchers (BBC
news staff specifically) it was never intended to be a honey-laced fly
trap.

I'll leave other people to fight over search engine ratings, they have
never bothered me.

Ah, but then you misunderstand SEO. Good SEO means getting more visitors
looking for Lake District to *your* Lake District page because you
consider it better compared to the competition.

Of course there are people who do what you describe, but because some
people make an "encyclopedia" with Front Page and using information they
recall from 3rd grade doesn't mean your work is at that level now does it?

BTW, I estimated your unique visitors at around 20k. With 52,000+ pages
you certainly should have more visitors (at least between 100 and 200k)
wether it's 20k or 40k for that matter.

Moreover, according to Google you have 165,000 pages indexed... If that's
roughly 3x those 52k pages you are doing something wrong that makes you
get lower in Google.

Finally, I recall you live from the money you make with the encyclopedia.
And I also get a strong impression that you think your information is
good. So why not make it easier to find in Google and make more people
happy? That's what SEO is about in my book, believing in your work, and
trying to make it visible to others.

(15k uniques daily with just 1320 indexed pages and still growing ;-) )

40,000 visitors a day. I wish I misunderstood SEO too.

Depends how big his site is, doesn't it? Depends how many man hours,
which could perhaps have been better put towards making him much more
money, it took to make it and it takes maintain it. You can't quote
anything out of context in regard to the web.

I am glad I don't since with just 1300 pages I manage to get 15K a day
:-D.

Nice creative quote BTW, fixed:
