Huh? What’s that? Or even “yeah, so what…”
How many times in an email, Facebook, Twitter or other sites have you seen a web address like this: www.govisitmysite.com and the damn thing isn’t clickable? A little annoying, right?
How many times have you copied and pasted the link?
My guess… very few. By adding these 7 simple characters, you unleash the mad, straight up power that is the INTERNET! You are leaving money, leads, customers, clients (and did I mention MONEY) on the table by not making your link clickable everywhere and anywhere you can!
NEWS FLASH —–> No one is going to take the time to copy and paste your link, EVER! (almost)
Err on the side of good business – use the http:// and your link becomes live: http://www.govisitmysite.com (this is an example only). Don’t leave prospective clients, customers and/or cash hanging on Facebook, Twitter and even in your email.
The other bonus is that you get those important backlinks to your site – without the http:// all you get is some text on another site…
Here’s a little experiment for you. Pay attention to all the non-working links you see, just on Facebook (especially on the person’s profile and their own link) and report back here. I would love and appreciate the feedback. If you found this post helpful, Please leave a comment!
Thanks and happy linking, Facebooking and Twittering…
