However, for someone who is visiting your site for the first time, they might not read the whole article.<\/p>\n<p>The image below shows an example of such text link.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4131 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intext-link-example.jpg\" alt=\"in text link example\" width=\"738\" height=\"81\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intext-link-example.jpg 738w, https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/intext-link-example-300x33.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Image links<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4132 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Make-it-sensual.jpg\" alt=\"Make-it-sensual\" width=\"179\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Make-it-sensual.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Make-it-sensual-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digitalreadymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Make-it-sensual-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So the next step I took was using something more visually appealing &#8211; images.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I thought by slapping some good looking images and make them as links would get people to click.<\/p>\n<p>However, not everyone knows these images are clickable.<\/p>\n<p>I also created review tables and made the images in the table clickable. Again, the same result.
