Websites have links to other pages. These links are called hyperlinks. They are usually blue and sometimes underlined or bold. Clicking a hyperlink opens a new page. Web authors use links to connect related pages. This system of links creates a web of information. That is why the Internet is called the World Wide Web.

Each website has a unique address. This is called a URL. When you click a link, the URL changes. You can also type a URL in the address bar of your browser. Your browser will then open that page. A URL is like a street address for websites.

Using a Search Engine

A search engine helps you find websites. It is a special website made for searching. Type keywords or a phrase, and it will show relevant websites. This helps you find the information you need quickly.
