Effective Link Placement

Keep the following tips in mind when placing links on your site: Place Links In Context An easy way to improve link performance is to add descriptive language around it. That way the visitor will know why it is there. Think of creative ways to blend your link into the theme of a page, using proper placement and text. Place Image And Search Links In The Top Left Corner Of Your Web Page Most visitors to Web sites view Web pages from top to bottom and left to right, so it makes sense to place your image or search links in the top left corner to make them the most visible. Place Links On Your Home Page Most visitors to Web sites go through a home page before going to other pages, so place your links on your home page to make them visible. If you have specific content areas of your site, you may want to place links that relate directly to those areas in those pages. Avoiding Errors With Links Be Free and Travelocity.ca recommends that you do not alter any link code. Due to the unique tracking information embedded in the link code, alterations to a link's HTML code can lead to tracking problems. When you make changes to your link's code, traffic and sales activity may not be properly recorded and you may lose commissions. In addition, Be Free and Travelocity.ca are not responsible for crediting you for lost commissions due to alterations you have made to links.
