10.3 Put web links where people will see them
If youre putting web links in, make sure theyre where people will see themnot in that bottom right-hand Corner of Death! Yes, people notice links in web content. Theyre usually bright blue and underlined, so people notice them. Many people even read links before they look at headlines.
Now that you know that, make it easy for them to get to your links by consistently presenting them in list form or by slamming them right up against the left-hand margin.
Don’t put your links in a sentence or they might end up in the invisible right-hand area of the content. Yes, this means you cant use the old "click here" convention, but for a good reason: it never worked very well anyway.
