There are better verbal and design-based methods of directing a user to possible actions.) -Anne On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 2:43 AM, Nick Sergeant<n...@nicksergeant.com> wrote: > I wish I still had the link, but a while back someone did a study on > this and found that most users actually *do* click on things that say > "Click here" more often than links that do not use that verbiage. > > Hopefully someone here can chime in with that study. > > Nick > > > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > Posted from the new ixda.org > http://www.ixda.org/discuss?post=44472 > > > ________________________________________________________________ > Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! > To post to this list ....... disc...@ixda.org > Unsubscribe ................ http://www.ixda.org/unsubscribe > List Guidelines ............ http://www.ixda.org/guidelines > List Help .................. http://www.ixda.org/help > -- Anne Hjortshoj | anne...@gmail.com | www.annehj.com | Skype: anne-hj ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
