Get More Web Traffic and Click Thrus by Making Sure Your Links are Live!

By Stacy Karacostas

Anytime you put a Website link in an email or anywhere online, you want to do your best to make sure that link is live and clickable. That way people can click on it and go straight there.

To do that, make sure you:

1) Always include the http:// before the www.

2) If you include your link in a sentence or paragraph, make sure there is no punctuation following it. So if it’s at the end of a sentence, don’t put a period (or comma, or parenthesis, or anything else) after it or you risk having a computer include the punctuation as part of the hyperlink and it won’t work properly.

When possible, put your link by itself on its own line. This makes it easier to see, and reduces the chance of it being corrupted by punctuation.
