Notes To find information on the hundreds of millions of Web pages that exist, a search engine
employs special software robots, called spiders to build lists of the words found on Web sites.
When a spider is building its lists, the process is called Web crawling.
To create a hyperlink, we require the two elements:
z The text, image or any other component that is to be converted to a hyperlink, so that
when the user clicks on it, some other web page or some other portion of the same web
page opens up.
z The URL (address) of the web page to be opened by the link. Any text, image or figure in
a web page may be converted to a hyperlink.

Did u know? Googlebot is the name of Google’s Web Crawler that enables its searches to
be super fast!

There are two types of Hyperlinks which are discussed below.

10.1.1 Implicitly Anchored Hyperlink

It is the link that opens some other web page in the web browser when clicked by the user. An
anchor refers to the position in the target document that the visitor will see as a result of clicking
on the link.

Example:
<A name=”coffee” href=” http://somesitename/imagename.png”>Coffee</A>

A tag is used to create hyperlinks. The implicitly anchored hyperlinks require the HREF attribute
which is used to specify the URL of the web page to be opened by the hyperlink.
