The hyperlinks of any website can be roughly divided in four categories with no real distinctions but which you need to employ using a rule of thumb: a) Clix generating click throughs (brand awareness)* b) Clix generating repeat visits by internal referral (e.g. bookmarks, newsletter signups, brochures); c) Clix generating traffic (agreements for inbound links, online marketing for third parties); d) Clix generating sales

*Do not confuse our use ofrepparttar term “click throughs” with click throughs as inrepparttar 135896 pay per click concept. Pay per click is all about inbound traffic into a site. Here, I am discussingrepparttar 135897 internal navigational path.

Although most sites differ,repparttar 135906 links making uprepparttar 135907 navigational path are generally quite similar in their relation torepparttar 135908 vital points; click throughs are generally way less closely related to a site’s vital points than for instance sales clicks. Or at least when you build up your sales idea right,repparttar 135909 ultimate click will be entirely logically connected with your business concept. As forrepparttar 135910 middle two categories, they generally are somewhere inrepparttar 135911 middle in relation to vital points too.

There is not a lot else to writing good website content, apart from gloating overrepparttar 135912 results with your clients a few months later!
