Partial websites

When you jump to a website from a Google search, or a hyperlink, you mostly see part of a website, that might have a lot more information!

For instance, if you were searching for tiger pictures, and somewhere you found a link to a photo with the address: www.tigers.com/siberian/pictures/graphic1.gif 

It would be useful to explore the rest of the website, because it might have more pictures and other information about tigers. The file graphics1.gif is stored in a folder called pictures. This folder might have more graphics in it, so by deleting the last part of the address, you end up in the folder www.tigers.com/siberian/pictures Based on the fact that the picture was called graphic1, there might be a graphic2 as well.

Deleting more of the address gets you to www.tigers.com. This website might show several other tigers, which might bring up more pictures of maybe a saber-toothed tiger. From the website you could conclude that the pictures in the original subdirectory were only of Siberian tigers, and that other tigers might have different subdirectories with their photographs in it.
