When it's just the keyword you're essentially hoping that people will be curious enough to click but adding 'click here' does wonders for the call-to-action. I do a bit of article marketing - this is definitely going into my future articles :) Hey Dean,

I was attracted by its title. Well, i concour that the way of talking with the target depends on the aims of your company. But, as reguards the online communication, i believe it should be able to make all users understand exactly which actions they must do and how. Not always users are able to use online services. So i believe that a "call to action link" is the best way to guarrantee that everyone undarstands what do and how. My compliment to you for the post, it was very interesting :) PS. excuse me for my english, please ;) Angela Hi, i’m italian and i was by chance on your website reading this post.

This tells the readers exactly what you want them to do. This is the one I would use: " click here to sign up for my free newsletter." This is a good example of why a knowledgeable direct marketer knows more than the pure tech person when it comes to marketing online. Copy is critical to success, not just technical know how.

I had a startling wakeup call to this one over the weekend. The average person really does need to be told what to do. If you don't tell them where to click they will do everything except click on the link you want them to. Thanks for the reminder. Tell them what to do and they are more likely to do it.
