If all the links on the website were all blue it would actually cause confusion if the links in the sidebar were also the same.

I think the idea we want to create 'around' the click-here-link is that the deal is completely transparent. If you can present it in a way that your potential customer gets the 'i-know-what-i'm-doing'-feeling, than he'll definitely click. Thnx again.

I believe that keeping it simple and recognizable for your potential customer is the right idea behind a call to action link. However, if in the next five seconds there is no info to be found ABOUT the "click here"-link. The result is that the visitor'll be annoyed. Which creates an unpleasant stay at your website, I believe. Anyway, it's been a very helpful article. I'm currently working on my own blog - <a href="http://www.whenigetrich.com" rel="nofollow">Whenigetrich.com</a>. And since the layout is 99 percent finished I'm currently looking for good affiliates. Already have some setup but there's still plenty of space. This article did give me some usefull insight on this subject. Daan - <a href="http://www.whenigetrich.com" rel="nofollow">Whenigetrich.com</a>. I do agree with you on this one, Rob.

However, many people expect a blue underlined text link to know that it is a link that can be clicked on. It might not stand out color wise, but it can help many non tech savvy people understand where they can click for text links. Also, "click here" may be a bad call to action, and on its own mean nothing, but you'd be surprised how many people just "get it" and will click the link. It makes sense to them, as that is where they should click. It goes against creative writers' every fiber, but it converts day in and day out for many sites, often times better in A/B testing than other descriptive text. Sometimes simple and plain work the best for getting people to click links and take action (referring to text links, not graphical buttons, which is another story altogether).

Just a simple twitter button and a button with the text tweet me makes more difference. Later one calls your visitors. So When you design any icons, navigations or text links make sure it should call your visitors even if they are new to entire online world.
