Where to put your links
By Kristoffer Bohmann, Bohmann Usability
Where to put your links. A new study from the Psychology Department at Wichita State University recommends that links are embedded in the text on Web pages. The second-best solution is to put links outside the text.
Embedded links have several advantages:
- Make it easier to navigate
- Key information is more easily recognized.
- Text comprehension is enhanced.
- Easier to follow the main idea when browsing a document.
