Just a quick public service announcement reminding my fellow digital marketing and communication professionals: there was a time and place to use "click here" for your link text, and that time has passed. 1. Not everyone is using a device that requires them to click a mouse 2. Your site design should give clear cues … Continue reading Stop using “Click Here” in your link text
