Do not click here

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Most of the sites use "click here for/to …" wording. That implies that:

  • The user is too stupid to see it is a link (alternatively the webmaster made it impossible to see it is a link)
  • The user has and uses a mouse
  • The document is not going to be printed (it will look stupid then)
  • The webmaster has no imagination
  • The webmaster does not care how the site will be indexed by search engines
