They are a combination of text, graphics, and links. A link is text or a graphic, which when clicked on takes you to another location, either on that same web site, or sometimes on a completely different web site anywhere else on the Internet. Links are underlined, and a different color than the rest of the text. They can lead you on a trail from one web site to another. That's called Net-Surfing.
Studies show that links are one of the things people like best about the Internet.
When you type a URL into your Web Browser and hit GO, it will take you to that web site. A Web Site can contain all sorts of information on it including visual, audio and video images. When you are trying to locate information on a specific subject you can conduct a search on it. A Search Engine is an online directory that lists web sites.
