When

I

started

blogging

I

simply

wrote

a

lot

of

articles

without

caring

so

much

about

the

keywords

I

was

targeting

I

just

wrote

and

hoped

for

the

best

As

I

quickly

found

out

this

approach

led

to

no

visits

to

my

blog

because

my

posts

only

ranked

for

keywords

with

very

low

volume

if

at

all

But

as

I

got

more

and

more

proficient

in

SEO

I

discovered

a

blueprint

that

keeps

putting

my

site

at

the

top

of

Google

every

time

This

blueprint

combined

with

some

solid

keyword

research

is

all

you

need

to

also

rank

at

the

top

Want

me

to

do

SEO

for

you

Hire

me

In

todays

post

I

will

show

you

how

you

can

easily

find

keywords

to

target

and

how

to

include

those

in

your

posts

effortlessly

to

increase

your

traffic

and

rankings

I

will

also

explain

what

keywords

are

how

to

use

them

what

not

to

do

very

important

and

the

one

deep

dark

secret

to

getting

Googles

attention

Ready

In

the

Beginning

The

Start

of

Keywords

When

the

internet

started

there

was

no

good

way

to

find

the

information

or

websites

you

wanted

In

fact

everyone

had

to

keep

a

list

of

the

web

address

that

they

liked

Then

search

engines

came

along

to

fix

this

problem

The

very

first

search

engine

was

called

Archie

It

was

created

in

by

Alan

Emtage

at

McGill

University

in

Montreal

It

was

in

essence

a

database

of

file

names

that

one

could

search

to

find

what

they

were

looking

for

In

Tim

BernersLee

invented

the

concept

of

the

World

Wide

Web

It

was

a

system

whereby

information

could

be

transferred

easily

and

quickly

Read

about

the

history

of

blogging

It

didnt

take

long

for

a

bunch

of

search

engines

to

show

up

Each

of

them

including

Google

are

based

on

some

simple

principles

A

spider

goes

out

and

looks

for

web

pages

Those

pages

are

scanned

and

cataloged

How

does

the

spider

understand

what

the

page

is

all

about

It

uses

keywords

and

keyword

density

to

figure

out

the

main

topic

of

the

page

With

this

information

the

spider

tags

the

page

and

clusters

it

in

a

category

such

as

health

care

for

example

What

are

keywords

Keywords

and

their

use

on

websites

is

really

not

an

unfathomable

idea

In

fact

when

you

step

back

from

it

a

bit

they

are

quite

simple

Dictionarycom

defines

a

keyword

as

a

word

or

concept

of

great

significance

It

goes

on

to

say

an

informative

word

used

in

an

information

retrieval

system

to

indicate

the

content

of

a

document

Keywords

are

words

in

any

document

that

tell

you

what

the

document

is

about

In

fact

its

not

that

hard

to

demonstrate

particularly

when

youre

looking

at

nonfiction

items

Lets

consider

the

following

passage

scanning

only

the

keywords

highlighted

Michael

Jordan

born

February

is

a

professional

American

basketball

player

Olympic

athlete

businessperson

and

actor

Considered

one

of

the

best

basketball

players

ever

Michael

Jordan

dominated

the

sport

from

the

to

the

late

He

led

the

Chicago

Bulls

to

six

National

Basketball

Association

championships

and

earned

the

NBAs

Most

Valuable

Player

Award

five

times

With

five

regularseason

MVPs

and

three

AllStar

MVPs

Jordan

became

the

most

decorated

player

in

NBA

history

From

Biographycom

Here

is

a

list

of

potential

keywords

Michael

Jordan

basketball

basketball

players

championships

NBA

With

these

keywords

the

spider

might

make

the

following

associations

as

explained

in

my

RankBrain

article

Michael

Jordan

basketball

basketball

player

NBA

championships

By

simply

scanning

for

keywords

Google

can

clearly

understand

what

that

passage

is

all

about

and

start

ranking

that

site

for

keywords

like

who

is

michael

jordan

or

michael

jordan

championships

So

in

short

keywords

give

us

the

main

topic

of

an

article

So

now

that

you

know

what

keywords

are

and

what

they

look

like

how

do

you

decide

what

keywords

to

use

on

your

website

How

can

you

maintain

great

keyword

usage

throughout

the

site

How

to

find

the

right

keywords

Here

are

simple

ways

to

find

good

keywords

for

your

site

Write

a

list

of

what

your

website

is

about

Look

at

what

Google

and

other

tools

say

about

those

words

Steal

keywords

from

your

competitors

I

will

go

in

depth

about

each

of

them

now

Step

One

Make

a

list

Im

going

to

use

a

single

example

throughout

the

rest

of

the

article

to

make

it

easy

to

track

the

progress

of

a

single

website

The

business

Franks

Plumbing

and

Heating

Location

Iowa

City

Iowa

The

first

thing

that

Frank

needs

to

do

is

a

make

a

list

of

words

that

are

relevant

to

what

he

does

Its

simply

a

list

of

nouns

and

verbs

that

relate

to

his

business

Toilet

Sink

Plumbing

Pipes

Emergency

service

Leaks

Installation

Construction

Sewer

Shower

Faucet

Those

are

all

words

that

relate

to

Franks

plumbing

business

Thats

not

everything

but

its

a

great

start

Armed

with

his

list

Frank

is

going

to

see

what

search

engines

have

to

say

about

what

he

does

Use

Ubersuggest

for

More

Keywords

One

thing

that

you

can

do

now

is

to

take

your

list

to

Ubersuggest

Its

a

free

tool

that

will

take

your

main

keywords

and

expand

on

them

All

you

have

to

do

is

enter

a

keyword

and

Ubersuggest

will

show

you

a

list

of

related

keywords

that

you

can

try

The

Ubersuggest

list

can

also

be

used

to

estimate

how

good

your

initial

list

was

in

terms

of

volume

CPC

and

competition

Related

are

the

highest

paying

Adsense

keywords

This

list

can

be

compared

to

the

tool

thats

next

Googles

Keyword

Tool

Step

Use

Google

Keyword

Search

and

other

Keyword

Research

tools

Since

Google

is

the

big

dog

I

will

speak

about

Google

most

of

the

time

Everything

you

do

for

Google

will

work

well

for

Bing

Yahoo

Baidu

and

every

other

search

engine

Google

is

used

for

nearly

of

all

internet

searches

Another

important

note

is

that

only

of

all

searches

are

unique

That

means

that

of

all

searches

are

repeated

Thats

why

keywords

work

well

but

at

the

same

time

exactmatch

keywords

are

not

as

useful

as

they

used

to

be

Google

offers

a

great

and

free

keyword

search

tool

If

you

are

new

to

you

will

need

to

open

an

account

to

use

it

Follow

their

instructions

to

set

up

an

account

Dont

worry

you

dont

have

to

spend

money

You

only

need

to

promise

to

think

about

it

After

youre

in

youll

see

this

page

You

will

want

to

search

using

a

phrase

for

now

Frank

is

just

going

to

type

Plumbing

into

the

search

box

There

is

a

box

at

the

bottom

that

he

can

use

to

focus

on

Iowa

City

Since

he

doesnt

have

a

national

business

he

will

put

the

city

name

in

there

Frank

doesnt

speak

Spanish

so

he

is

going

to

use

English

words

Now

we

have

a

list

of

keywords

By

on

you

can

arrange

the

keywords

that

supplies

you

in

order

of

the

most

Note

that

the

first

result

plumbing

supply

isnt

useful

to

a

plumber

so

Frank

eliminates

it

from

his

The

next

youll

see

difficulty

numbers

The

higher

the

number

the

more

difficult

it

will

be

to

rank

for

that

It

simply

means

that

theres

a

If

you

have

a

website

that

is

already

getting

a

lot

of

traffic

you

can

reorient

to

that

word

On

the

other

hand

if

you

have

a

new

website

you

might

look

for

a

number

thats

low

It

will

allow

you

to

rank

in

a

smaller

niche

Later

when

youve

gotten

traffic

from

you

can

go

people

end

up

Here

that

can

make

harder

Follow

easier

Stop

Words

Stop

appear

throughout

a

language

A

an

all

very

common

in

your

language

In

fact

the

the

most

commonly

used

word

in

that

They

were

words

that

would

stop

Google

reading

on

Frank

the

Best

would

only

be

as

Frank

Google

has

improved

this

over

In

the

on

the

Google

was

designed

just

for

Today

you

can

So

Best

best

plumber

in

juice

Punctuation

Another

place

The

GIANT

SECRET

about

SEO

and

rankings

Heres

the

big

secret

The

one

thats

at

the

heart

of

everything

that

Google

is

doing

This

is

worth

millions

of

dollars

in

SEO

work

and

data

analysis

And

it

has

to

do

with

a

very

simple

white

hat

SEO

strategy

The

simple

secret

is

to

write

great

content

Thats

it

When

you

write

content

that

is

valuable

like

this

post

people

will

spend

a

lot

of

time

reading

it

people

will

organically

share

it

and

all

of

this

will

boost

your

to

the

top

What

not

to

do

unless

you

want

to

piss

off

Google

Doing

Keyword

Stuffing

The

biggest

nono

for

Google

with

keywords

is

keyword

stuffing

which

means

simply

putting

your

keywords

as

often

as

possible

in

your

text

From

Google

Keyword

stuffing

refers

to

the

practice

of

loading

a

webpage

with

keywords

or

numbers

in

an

attempt

to

manipulate

a

sites

ranking

in

Google

search

results

Often

these

keywords

appear

in

a

list

or

group

or

out

of

context

not

as

natural

prose

Filling

pages

with

keywords

or

numbers

results

in

a

negative

user

experience

and

can

harm

your

sites

ranking

Focus

on

creating

useful

informationrich

content

that

uses

keywords

appropriately

and

in

context

Examples

of

keyword

stuffing

include

Lists

of

phone

numbers

without

substantial

added

value

Blocks

of

text

listing

cities

and

states

a

webpage

is

trying

to

rank

for

Repeating

the

same

words

or

phrases

so

often

that

it

sounds

unnatural

for

example

We

sell

custom

cigar

humidors

Our

custom

cigar

humidors

are

handmade

If

youre

thinking

of

buying

a

custom

cigar

humidor

please

contact

our

custom

cigar

humidor

specialists

at

customcigarhumidorsexamplecom

Many

many

websites

early

on

used

keyword

stuffing

to

try

to

get

Googles

attention

It

worked

for

about

a

year

Nonetheless

its

not

hard

to

look

around

today

and

still

see

websites

with

a

bunch

of

keywords

packed

on

a

page

One

of

the

biggest

examples

is

lists

of

the

towns

that

you

work

in

If

youre

a

plumber

you

might

work

in

towns

and

cities

Many

web

designers

will

put

a

huge

list

of

all

the

towns

at

the

bottom

of

the

page

Thats

not

only

not

going

to

get

you

the

results

you

need

its

likely

to

make

the

Google

bot

mark

your

site

down

If

you

want

to

list

the

towns

create

a

nice

separate

page

for

each

town

and

list

them

on

your

site

Your

developer

can

even

make

the

pages

A Little Reflection On Spending the Holidays Alone as a Solo Traveler 6 Tips Last updated October 21st 2018 Murmur the world Christmas and you likely imagine a toasty log cabin with a flickering fire Youre sipping a steaming cup of hot chocolate while the snow blankets the cabin in an earthly quiet Perhaps theres even a twinkling Christmas tree tucked into the corner and carols tinkling from the radio Thats the Hollywood Christmas and one that Ive long imagined everyone else experiences every December But as a native Floridian thats not life as we know it By late December some years the weather still cranks out breezes in the mid 80 And so it wasnt so strange for me to spend Christmas in the Land Down Under where the balmy breeze reminded me of the only Christmases I have ever known I ended my round the world trip just last month but the memories of that year will never leave me This time a year ago I was freshfaced optimistic about my trip and I was happy to sun myself on a boat in the middle of the ocean all in the name of a good time That said it is a bit weird to leave your home culture during the holidays Christmas traditions in Australia are less commercialized than Christmas back home On the one hand thats lovely On the other hand without the decorations and Christmas carols blaring from the radio it felt more like a casual summer festivity than the huge tradition weve embraced in the US In the lead up to Christmas I realized that I would like company during the holidays When I planned my round the world trip I considered that I would face the holiday solo At first one of my best friends had planned to fly over and join me for a month of diving and holidays and birthday my birthday fun She bailed on me the first week of December however Id be lying if I wasnt heartbroken But I regrouped Holidays and special occasions are a rough time to be alone out there in the world This proves true for anyone who travels but also those people who might have just moved to a new city and dont yet have friends Or those without family nearby In my case my birthday falls three days after Christmas Then New Years Eve arrives I knew the dangers of spending all of that time alone Solo travel can already be lonely at times and so I took stock of the situation Australia is the land of many backpackers and I decided to book myself on a group sailboat trip on the Whitsunday Islands And I learned an important lesson about the holidays which echoes so much of traveling Instead of focusing on how Christmas was different from those of years past I learned and experienced traditions from dozens of other cultures Unlike the many Christmases of my childhood that all blend together my memories from my Australian backpacker Christmas are unique to that year alone Jumping off the side of the boat into the gorgeous blue waters It was a long drop into the water but I teamed up with two other women and we jumped together to help overcome the fear Instead of waking up at dawn to cook a feast with my grandma I woke at sunrise and pulled on a stinger suit so I could snorkel in the first light of day My boat turned out to have a party vibe not sure theres anything else possible in Australia as the backpackers love to party and I spent the holiday with a dozen backpackers from all over this planet of ours Its a tradition here make sand snowmen in your swimsuit Sadly the pure silica on the beaches in the Whitsundays didnt lend itself to sandmen decked out in widebrimmed sunhats and sunglasses If it was possible I totally would have joined with the Aussie tradition and made up an epic sandman I suppose however that I shouldnt boohoo about the purest whitest sand in the world it wasnt that much of a hardship Christmas Eve looking out at Whitehaven Beach The water is shallow for ages and it makes for gorgeous wading water After a while however I hid in the shade so I didnt burn Views of Whitehaven beach one of the prettiest spots in the Whitsunday Islands When I decided to tackle that year of solo travel at the outset I knew that Id face obstacles in unlikely places I dont love the holidays like some people My family bickers and my mum is always sad about my brothers passing But its also the only thing Ive ever known for the holidays I attended an orphans Christmas my first year in Los Angeles and it was fun and weird but ultimately it was comfortable because I was in my home culture When I left I wasnt sure what it feel like to be half a world away from my family Christmas day was nearly over for me by the time they were sitting down to family dinner And so I learned that I like to be home for the holidays I also like all the weird and wacky travel gifts my family comes up with over the years It was delightful to experience Christmas on the water with other backpackers but it there is something to be said for embracing your traditions and showing up My family missed me last year My nieces and nephews had grown so big This year as I reflect back from the comfort of my childhood home I am happy to be home for the holidays Quick Tips Six Ideas for Spending the Holidays as Solo Traveler If youre on the road and facing a holiday alone Christmas Easter Thanksgiving here are a handful of ideas for forming new holiday memories that help beat the loneliness of being alone while your family back home is gathering Book a group tour This was clearly my choice and it has panned out well over the years Ive done this several times on a handful of holidays during my more than eight years of travel There are so many fun activities all over the world so you could even treat yourself by booking something that you might not usually splurge on doing My tours are often multiday but at least book a day tour to keep yourself busy and engaged If youre in a part of the world with Urban Adventures tours they often offer food tours or beer crawls or historical tours a range of cool niche ones that will keep your mind busy and engaged with your new friends on the tour Stay at a busy hostel Hostels the world over are filled with other travelers in your same situation Ive never been in a hotel that doesnt organize a party for Christmas If youre celebrating a purely American holiday then you might need to get creative and ask around the hotel to see if any others want to make a potluck Thanksgiving or some such Contact local expats Find a Facebook group or an expat blogger and reach out to them They will have a bead on any celebrations in town and they just might be organizing their own open event Plan a spa day or treat yourself day Consider a day of pampering or fun In some parts of the world Christmas Day is businessasusual and you can find book yourself into a spa day Ive gone this route in Southeast Asia before and its always lovely to treat myself You could also partake in your favorite activities Even back home I will sometimes head to the movie theatre on Christmas as it feels like a fun indulgence to see the latest blockbuster Discover the local traditions If youre in a part of the world that celebrates the holiday dive into their festivities Even similar cultures often have wildly different traditions Use your trip as an extension of your travels and get curious about the local holiday customs and traditions Do something cool unique or from your bucket list My niece traveled with me during the holidays one year and I wanted to make it a memorable one We were in Thailand which celebrates the holiday a bit but I knew she would miss home Instead of trying to duplicate home traditions I signed us up for a Christmas Day 10K run We joined several local expats and created a fun full day out of it After the run we all ate a massive pancake breakfast and generally enjoyed the uniqueness of our day Pin Pocket beaches cultural differences holidays weather A Little Reflection Vipassana Meditation Was it Worth It A Little SerenadeSix Songs for a Happy Birthday 24 Responses to

Memories of an Art Student and Teacher at Alma by Evelyn Knight I was born in St Thomas Ontario in 1925 I attended Alma college from 19461948 As a child I lived within walking distance of Alma and May Day was so exciting All the children in the neighbourhood would get a spot by the chain fence to watch the Crowning of the May Queen It was a ritual we were so thrilled To see the girls around town in the uniforms was so exciting and one time somebody had a convertible They were very much the stars of St Thomas for me An ArtistinTraining I was always interested in drawing and painting I loved it in the first year of high school but they never taught it after that I wanted more training and I wanted to better myself somehow So I worked in business for three years saved my money and lived at home I walked to work and paid 6 a week in board This was during wartime and we bought bonds and everyone lived very inexpensively I saved my money and traded it with my father for the opportunity to live at home and attend Alma College He had always lacked a bulk of money and he wanted to put in a basement so that was the trade And of course I came out on top I was nineteen when I started Certainly older than the girls but that didnt seem to matter The staff were so respectful and the classes were smaller with maybe 14 girls in a class I spent a lot of time up in the art room Our art teacher Mrs Knowles had all these antique busts She would sit you down in front of the bust and then you would draw and she would correct That might go on for weeks Everything that came out of there had to be done perfectly You graduated through these antique busts and then finally graduated to landscapes And Miss Lang who taught interior decorating taught you to draw buildings She instructed in a practical way I really loved going to school in the cottage where Miss Lamb presided She always had a lot of crafts going on She was a therapist at a hospital in Toronto and so she was well trained You felt like you were getting a lot of expertise from her I applied at a summer camp for girls as the craft instructor after one or two years and she helped me order supplies They were so thrilled that they had made a profit And it was fun for me being away from home and being a leader and instructor I made a lot of crafts and kept them The YMCA had a craft show one year and I won the top prize And of course I paid for all this over and above my fees I babysat and went to school many a day having had only four hours of sleep I helped with the alumnae files after school with Mrs Dobson There were thousands of names on file I found that to be a sleepy job And I also refereed basketball At Arthur Voaden School I had been a good basketball player This took so much money off Friends Family and Teachers My best friend was Gwen Jones from Exeter Alma was kind of a finishing school for her and we got along well I once went to her cottage on the river I had never been to a cottage before Gwen and I became lifelong friends I had a wonderful mother who was very supportive She worked in a bank which was unusual in those days for a woman to work in business She was very helpful and supportive She would have the girls over for tea and they would bring over a bouquet of flowers That was so wonderful She was so proud when I graduated The teachers were all very supportive and they wanted you to pass When I was teaching art there eventually the staff would meet every month Miss Bone would go over every girls marks and she would say Why is this girl failing Geography and they would talk about giving her extra help It was practically guaranteed that your marks would improve at least 10 by coming to Alma because of the supervised study halls and the teachers keeping an eye on your marks Having Fun Students had to join an afterschool club Most of the day students werent involved in that stuff But I was there I went into the drama club and we put on little plays And every May there was a big play put on usually Shakespearean Costumes came from Toronto and everyone fit into the amphitheatre Creating the amphitheatre was Principal Dr Dobsons dream He was quite a money collector and did a good job And when he finally retired he had a local summer house around Springwater and would have students there during the summer There was also horseback riding at Alma They had a stable out back and an English horseman I was eager to try everything It was a wonderful time in my life I dated some but it wasnt my priority We used to go to Port Stanley to the Stork Club dances The air force was here and we all went down by train This was during prohibition and you couldnt have any alcohol so they used to put a bottle under the table and sneak drinks After Alma I went on to be on the board as alumnae president The Alumnae Association was very strong We met every month in the drawing room We pooled our funds together and refinished the drawing room We had bake sales We were all young married women living locally I remember a picnic we had at Pinafore Park and I took my young baby That was the centerpiece After my children were all in school there was a heritage show in Sparta I painted a lot of Sparta buildings and sold them all I did a good thing with the painting and I really enjoyed it I remember that while visiting some relatives in England some of the cousins asked What did you get from Alma I thought about it and said Self improvement I made an investment in myself It rounded me out which was something I wanted Alma College gave me a wonderful background and confidence in myself After going there I would speak more freely 2 thoughts on Memories of an Art Student and Teacher at Alma by Evelyn Knight marymcnabb says April 15 2015 at 122 am Beautiful story It shows just how much schools like Alma gave young women a chance to blossom Catherine Waffle says April 15 2015 at 145 pm I loved reading your story Evelyn I grew up knowing you and you became my art teacher at Alma Prior to that your family and mine were good friends and your husband was my dentist One of your paintingsa landscape and treewas acquired by my parents That painting now hangs on one of my walls and I look at it every day Your thoughts and words about Alma are appreciated I hope you are well Leave a Reply

Skip to main content How to Tell if Pigeons Are Male or Female Sexing pigeons can be tricky and even experts are occasionally fooled Unlike many animals birds in general do not have obvious physical attributes that distinguish them as male or female Instead you must closely watch pigeons for certain types of behavior in order to tell if pigeons are male or female Look at the size of the pigeon Male pigeons are usually larger than females Take note of when a pigeon sits on its eggs if eggs are present Typically a male pigeon will sit on the nest in the morning until around midafternoon Female pigeons take over nest tending later in the day Pay attention to the movements of the pigeon Male pigeons bow and scrape bowing their heads while scraping their tail feathers along the ground Watch a pair of pigeons mate As with most animals the male pigeon will position himself on top of the female making it easy to distinguish the two sexes Tips Both male and female pigeons coo Video of the Day Brought to you by Cuteness Brought to you by Cuteness References 1 Photo Credits David De LossyPhotodiscGetty Images Author Sophia Darby is a former professional hairstylist who has spent the last six years writing hairrelated articles for both online and print publications Her work has appeared in Celebrity Hairstyles Magazine as well as multiple websites Cite this Article House Pets How to Tell if Pigeons Are Male or Female

pdf increasing size every time I save I know there is a by design function of acrobat which saves the previous versions of the file when this is being edited However I now have a single page pdf which is approximately 4MB when the original file is about 500k I am mostly modifying javascript of this file not images or anything else I have tried to save as optimized pdf but the size remains the same How can I reduce the file size by deleting some editing history on the file I apologize if I am posing this question the wrong way but I am a real newcomer here Thanks Maschio Andrea 5 Answers Voted Best Answer So document overhead is causing the problem I see I did a google search and found this article httpblogsadobecomacrobatineduca Read the article and I will point out the disgard data section I think that is where you can clean up the document overhead I did a test with the private data on a 27MB file and removed a good 9MB Though I selected everything just for the heck of it of course it removed all the bookmarks and stuff like that so becareful what you select By Michael Anderson Did you try the Reduce File Size option when you go to save the document Remember from another topic awhile pack PostScript drivers not being installed is a culprit in this situation sometimes Although if your printer is from 2005 till now the PostScript drivers should be installed Your third option would be to go to your printers driver suppose page and see if you have any current drivers to download and see if that fixes the file size issue Michael Anderson Save as simple save as normally clears up quite a bit in the document However it depends a lot on the document itself what kind of document it is However JavaScript modifications rarely should cause such a dramatic growth of the file In fact the initial size of the document is already quite big Do you also play around with fonts in fields If so be aware that once a font has been specified for a field it gets fully embedded and it will also not be cleared out when it is not used In this case the only thing you can do is to take a virgin version of the document and copy the fields from the big document to it You will also have to get the documentlevel scripts the page actions and the document actions over to the virgin version It may be a good idea to use the PDFOptimizer functionality to find out what part of the document uses how much space Another important thing with forms is to deactivate the save as optimizes for fast web view option Hope this can help Max Wyss Max Wyss Hi Maschio Instead of doing a Save do a SaveAs The SaveAs feature will remove redundant info that accumulates as you editalter a PDF while a simple Save appends all that to the end of the file Hope this helps Dimitri WindJack Solutions wwwpdfscriptingcom wwwwindjackcom Dimitri Munkirs httpdprifpv5 this is my situation in the pdf optimizer dialog ive triead mostly any option from image to flatten fields the size remains the same Maschio Andrea Within this topic Browse more answers Installation updates Acrobat Reader Create PDF Edit PDF Export PDF Review and Comment Scan and Optimize Mobile PDF Protect PDF PDF Forms Sign and Send PDFs Combine Files Print Production PDF Standards Accessibility JavaScript

When

the

html

file

double

clicked

IE

opens

and

displays

a

single

link

When

the

link

is

clicked

Excel

opens

the

correct

file

but

ignores

the

sheet

and

cell

requested

Yes

Ive

tried

this

same

method

but

got

the

same

results

as

I

have

investigated

and

I

see

the

following

behaviour

Excel

goes

to

the

nominated

cell

Excel

opens

the

file

but

does

not

activate

the

nominated

sheet

When

the

destination

is

an

xlsx

file

with

a

SheetCell

reference

says

it

cant

find

the

file

When

the

destination

is

an

xlsx

file

without

a

SheetCell

the

file

is

opened

successfully

but

of

course

doesnt

change

the

active

cell

I

am

asking

other

MVPs

for

their

input

It

seems

to

me

to

be

a

pair

of

bugs

in

the

browserExcel

If

im

not

mistaken

i

belive

that

older

IE

versions

use

to

open

excel

in

the

browser

Which

allowed

a

to

work

New

versions

of

IE

and

open

excel

files

directly

in

excel

So

it

doesnt

recognize

the

request

of

a

specific

tab

Is

Not

quickly

I

imagine

First

someone

has

to

raise

it

as

an

issue

with

Microsoft

Then

Microsoft

have

to

determine

whether

its

a

bug

or

by

design

Then

if

its

a

bug

they

will

determine

whether

they

think

its

important

enough

to

fix

in

current

versions

with

an

update

or

service

release

or

whether

to

defer

it

to

the

next

version

I

will

however

put

in

a

bug

report

to

start

the

process

off
