Always mix local links with ones to distant countries to give users a better feel of how the Web works. The only linked text should be the word HERE, so that HERE will return 69,375,347,604 hits when searched on at the WebCrawler. Make sure your links don't work anyway. Making the background and text shades of the same color makes for more aggressive reading of your document. Also make the new link and visited link colors the same so your visitors don't rely on antiquated means of navigating.
Cool folks use an HTML creator which makes hypertext unreadable.
No one would come back if they knew your page was that old. Background pics should be no less than 1000 KB and linked directly from a popular FTP archive for maximum user pleasure. Substitute pics for text whenever possible. The greatest pages have no text at all. I think it should be replaced with a man leaning on a shovel to show that your page has been abandoned shortly after construction.
