Debate is raging about the best way to present links in a web page. What follows is my opinion, based on many years of website content writing. But there are other opinions from equally valid sources. On that basis, use your own discretion and see which method makes the most sense to you, and reads better in the context of a free-flowing piece...

You have three choices: you can show the full web address of the page you want to link to, like this:

"The best online resource on the Internet is Wealthy Affiliate. Please go to google.com to sign up"

or,

"The best online resource on the Internet is Wealthy Affiliate. Please click here for more information".

or finally,

"Without doubt, the best online resource available today is Wealthy Affiliate University. When you visit the site...blah, blah, etc. etc."

Brilliant post Paul.

It hasn't received the recognition it deserves to be honest, in my opinion.

There is a lot of enormously useful information in there which could vastly improve clicks and conversions if used correctly. It is the finer points like this that can be the difference between making a little extra cash or running a hugely successful online presence.

But the most important thing to recognise is that just by making the improvements Paul discusses you are certain to improve your conversion rate, which after all is THE key to a successful IM future.

You are probably going to want edit this training. while its very useful. I don't think it will stick with your affiliate links in there. My guess is that Kyle has not seen this yet. Anyone that comes here from one of links would be lost to you if they went thru this tutorial, which is why they don't allow the affiliate links i the training modules.

I'll edit it, but I only used the links that get you to the free starter page, which I guess everyone who reads it has already gone through. I only had the link live because I'd just used it elsewhere and it was still on my clipboard. That's how lazy I am ;-)

Option 3 is the most appropriate and professional method of creating links...

And to think, you created this training after my discussion lol.

A great training! And I agree, I would never use number 1 at all. I never even considered that one an option to do.
