i doubt they would click on such links, most surfers would click if it says "click here for.." not just a word and a link.. what do you think?
Very obviously it depends on the traffic the article gets. On top of that it depends on how the link is presented, if it encourages a click then great, if it is a throwaway mid way through the article that people will barely notice, then no. There are too many variables to give a specific answer
thx for answer nick, but do people really click on a text that is not encouraged to click on, bold links with underline exists even though without a link on it..
Well it not just about placing the link in content but it also matters where that content is and how much traffic that website gets as a whole. Sure in content links are the best for seo but depending on where the article is, it can also drive a lot of traffic from persons clicking through.
If you're looking for traffic as well as in-content links then try to use them as banner inside content if you're familiar with <div> tag. It will display your links like a banner and visitors are habitual to click on banners more than just text links.
it depends on the article, if it is something of interest to the visitor then there is a chance to click through. But, we can't exactly tell unless we've analytical reports of previous days.
If I'm understanding what you're asking correctly, you'll generally get a better visitor response when there's a call to action (for them to click or do whatever you want them to do). That doesn't mean you need to say "click here" or anything like that, but if you just stick a random link in the middle of your content then I don't think it's likely to be too effective.
People do click on content based links. Personally, if I'm going to buy a link I would almost rather have a content link inside relevant content than I would a blogroll link, assuming the article will remain on the front page where most of the link juice will reside. For SEO purposes, I think it's beneficial. I think the amount of traffic you receive will largely depend on what the readers are looking for. I have a website that converts great, it doesn't receive much traffic. However, I know that nearly everyone who visits the website is looking to buy because of the way I've tailored the content and the keywords I rank for on Google. However, don't expect to get a lot of traffic if you are selling vacuum cleaners and you're linked randomly inside content that is related to the latest PC games. They aren't connected, the traffic isn't interested in buying a vacuum cleaner, they probably won't even bother visiting your website.
In content links are good for both, getting traffic from them and SEO. Before i start doing SEO i remember i has clicked on that links many times especially if they are with topic related anchor text.
I think as with all ad copy, if the link in the content stands out to the visitor they can always find out more about it
