ACM offers a 3 pip spread on EURUSD. In stock trading, only liquid stocks offer tight spreads. Those spreads often represent on average between 0.04% and 0.06% of the value of the stock. In comparison ACM offers a 3 pip spread on all major currencies, this equates to approximately between 0.02% and 0.03% on the underlying dollar value.

how to make money

My regular readers are familiar with Courtney Tuttle and Mark Butler who run a teaching blog for Internet Marketing called the Keyword Academy. If you are new here or are one of the hundreds who have emailed me asking "where to start" or, more to the point, have asked me if I would be willing to tutor you directly on "how to make money online" then I strongly suggest you take a look at Court and Mark's Keyword Crash Course.Both men are professional marketers, they teach the same basics as I do and offer one on one mentoring in this business. The Crash Course is designed for beginners just starting out and you can get your feet wet for a buck - a token introductory price for a month just to keep the tire kickers and time wasters away. If you are looking for real instruction on making a living online then join Court and Mark. If you are just looking for another "get rich quick" ebook or gimmick then they aren't for you.If you found my site chances are you found it ranking high in Google for the term you searched for. This wasn't an accident - it is what I do and it is the keystone for making money online. How can you learn to dominate Google and the other search engines? You can start at the beginning of this blog and read or take the more focused approach offered by Court and Mark. Unfortunately I just don't have the time to offer personal guidance so please don't ask. I wouldn't recommend the Keyword Academy if I didn't endorse the fellows fully.I would love to get some feedback from those of you who have already joined Court/Mark - good, bad or otherwise let us know.A Teaser...To the regular gang of MMO'ers - Thanks for the concerned emails and comments. Everything is fine, better than fine actually and I will be posting an update on the Griz blog (soon) explaining what I've been doing etc. Sorry for the absence but all is well and I should be back shortly...Cheers,Griz

Project Payday - A Legit Method to Make Money at Home
I have included Project Payday on my blog for all of my readers who write in asking if there are any legit online programs that they can use to make some quick money. Project Payday is not a get rich quick scheme - it is more like a work at home job. You don't need a blog or website as it involves getting paid to try out trial offers from online advertisers. There is work to this but you can realistically earn a couple of hundred dollars a day if you want to put in the effort.
I have written several posts about this and suggest you start with this one. Project Payday
Unfortunately Project Payday is only available to American and Canadian users at this time. Oh and it is free.
Note - After signing up take advantage of the Fast First Training link - you can learn how the IFW system works while making yourself a quick $50.00.

HTML Attributes

Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.
HTML Attributes:
HTML elements can have attributes
Attributes provide additional information about the element
Attributes are always specified in the start tag
Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

Attribute Example



HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is provided
as an attribute:


<a href="http://learn-html-khan.blogspot.com">This is a link</a&gt

Always Quote Attribute Values


Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes.


Double style quotes are the most common,
but single style quotes are also allowed.


In some rare situations, like when the attribute value itself contains
quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes:



name='John "ShotGun" Nelson'



HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Attributes


Attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive.


However, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase
attributes/attribute values in
their HTML 4 recommendation


Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand
lowercase attributes.


HTML Attributes Reference



A full list of legal attributes for each HTML element is listed in given link below:


Complete HTML Reference


Below is a list of some attributes that are standard for most HTML elements:





























AttributeValueDescription
classclass_rule or style_ruleThe class of the element
idid_nameA unique id for the element
stylestyle_definitionAn inline style definition
titletooltip_text A text to display in a tool tip

For more information about standard attributes a link is given below


HTML Standard Attributes Reference

The <html> element

<html>


<body>

<p>This is my first paragraph</p>

</body>


</html>

The <html> element defines the whole HTML document.

The element has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>

The element content is another HTML element (the body)

Don't Forget the End Tag
Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag:
<p>This is a paragraph

<p>This is a paragraph

The example above will work in most browsers, but don't rely on it.
Forgetting the end tag can produce unexpected results or errors.


Note: Future version of HTML will not allow you to
skip end tags.


Empty HTML Elements



HTML elements without content are called empty elements. Empty elements can
be closed in the start tag.


<br> is an empty element without a closing tag (it defines a line break).


In XHTML, XML, and future versions of HTML, all elements must be closed.


Adding a slash to the start tag, like <br />, is the proper way of closing empty elements, accepted by HTML, XHTML and XML.


Even if <br> works in all browsers, writing <br /> instead is more future
proof.



HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Tags


HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the
same as <p>. Plenty of web sites use uppercase HTML tags in their
pages.


We use lowercase tags because the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase in
HTML 4, and demands lowercase tags in future versions of (X)HTML.

Nested HTML Elements

Most HTML elements can be nested (can contain other HTML elements).
HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.
HTML Document Example

<html>


<body>

<p>This is my first paragraph</p>

</body>


</html>




The example above contains 3 HTML elements.
Example Explained
The <p> element:

<p>This is my first paragraph</p>
The <p> element defines a paragraph in the HTML document
The element has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>The element content is: This is my first paragraph
The <body>element:
<body>

<p>This is my first paragraph</p>

</body>
The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document

The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>

The element content is another HTML element (a paragraph)

HTML Elements

HTML Elements
An HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:





















Start tag *Element contentEnd tag *
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<a href="default.htm" >This is a link</a>
<br>


* The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.
HTML Element Syntax
An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag
An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tag
The element content is everything between the start and the end tag
Some HTML elements have empty content
Empty elements are closed in the start tag
Most HTML elements can have attributes

HTML Images

HTML Images
HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.

EXAMPLE:

<img src="http://learn-html-khan.blogspot.com/run.jpg" width="104" height="142" >

Note: The name and the size of the image are provided as attributes.
(attributes are already simply defined in previous post)

HTML Links

HTML links are defined with the <a> tag.

EXAMPLE:

<a href="http://learn-html-khan.blogspot.com">This is a link</a>

Note: The link address is provided as an attribute.
Attributes are basically the properties of the tags you will learn it later

HTM or HTML Extension?

HTM or HTML Extension?
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension. We use .htm in our examples. It is a habit from the past, when the software only allowed three letters in file extensions.
With new software it is perfectly safe to use .html.
HTML Headings:
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.
EXAMPLE:
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3>

HTML Paragraphs
HTML paragraphs are defined with the<p>tag.

What Do You Need to Work with HTML?

You don't need any tools to learn HTML here.

■You don't need any HTML editor
■You don't need a web server
■You don't need a web site


Editing HTML
In this tutorial we use a plain text editor (like Notepad) to edit HTML. We believe this is the best way to learn HTML.

However, professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing plain text.

HTM or HTML Extension?
When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension. We use .htm in our examples. It is a habit from the past, when the software only allowed three letters in file extensions.
With new software it is perfectly safe to use .html.

Starting wth real knowlege

As below even we have designed a simple webpage but we do not know the art of work yet
here is some introduction


What is HTML?
HTML is a language for describing web pages.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
A markup language is a set of markup tags
HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages
HTML Tags:
HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <>
HTML tags normally come in pairs like <> and
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags.
HTML Documents = Web Pages:
HTML documents describe web pages
HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
HTML documents are also called web pages
The purpose of a web browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page:
Example:

<html>

<body>



<h1>My First Heading</h1>



<p>My first paragraph.</p>



</body>

</html>




•The text between <html> and </html> describes the web page
•The text between <body> and </body> is the visible page content
•The text between <h1> and </h1> is displayed as a heading
•The text between <p> and </p> is displayed as a paragraph

Knowing about the TAGS

Actually the HTML code is based on the TAGS and the words used in these TAGS are enclosed by these signs "<>" the code is written between these both signs so whenever we talk about a tag it is automatically understood that it is enclosed in these signs.
