2 things

Go to this site and view source.

You will immediately notice 2 things

1) Keywords in h1 are the first visible content in the body.

<h1>Bumper Stickers - Funny Stickers - Free Stickers</h1>

great SEO.

2) Css images are preloaded in an invisible div.

<div style=”display:none;”>
<img src=”/images08/top.gif” />
<img src=”/images08/button1_on.gif” />
<img src=”/images08/button2_on.gif” />
<img src=”/images08/button3_on.gif” />
<img src=”/images08/button4_on.gif” />

<img src=”/images08/bottombar_right.gif” />
</div>

I’ve been looking for a solution to css image loadtime lag, and this solution is pretty much a ‘duh’.  I should be taking the time to do this.

Poppin. 50s style.
