Hello

1. If you use an external link (is a link pointed to another casino site or other site.) like this

<a href="http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&member=plusplus&profile=468x60k5"><img src=””></a>
It’s very important to hide your id in this link use this code to hide this link:
onMouseOver="window.status='Vegas Red Casino';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='Online Casinos';return true;"
and always use this tag: target=”_blank” in links. It means that if you click on this link it will be opened in a new window and your site won’t be closed
So, your link 
<a href="http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&member=plusplus&profile=468x60k5"> <img alt="Click here to play!" src="http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/banner.cgi?id=N&member=plusplus&profile=468x60k5"/></a> will be written such as:
<a href=http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&member=Tonyweb&profile=468x60k5 onMouseOver="window.status='Vegas Red Casino';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status='Online Casinos';return true;"
target=”_blank” title=”Vegas Red Online Casino”> 
<img alt="Click here to play online casino!" src="http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/banner.cgi?id=N&member=plusplus&profile=468x60k5"/></a>

to hide alt =....... what can I do ?

<img alt="Click here to play online casino!" src="http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/banner.cgi?id=N&member=plusplus&profile=468x60k5"/></

how can I hide one external link ?

[Doolally]

You can delete the alt="xxx" tag if you want or replace the text relating to the alt tag with any other text you want.

This is often used to assist SEO efforts but can be overdone.

Just a little advice from a noob.

When you are just starting out, trust no one.

I.E. Go on your favorite search engine and look up SEO. Spend a few weeks sifting through the results. Read. Learn. Take what makes sense in. Reject the crap.

Then, and only then ask questions. Otherwise, and I think you'll agree, those initial questions are empty. Why? Simply because the knowledge to understand the meaning of those questions is not at hand until you educate yourself, by yourself.

100% agree with you, you are right. Yes it's necessary to learn, learn and learn to have some success with search engines.
