URL Colour

Discussion in 'Placement / Reviews / Examples' started by VincentChow, Nov 27, 2006.

    Do same URL colour as text colour perform better or a blur(grey on white bg) URL color perform better?
    I see many people set their URL colour and the text colour to be same, but I make the URL colour grey instead so that they are not easily be seen.
    I read the report saying that visitors prefer visiting the site by typing the URL instead of clicking it.

    Further advice needed. Thanks.

    interesting question indeed. I do the same, but I dont really know if it's a good way. I don't have that lots of visitors to really test out the different options, so would be glad to hear from others too...

    Never tried this before... I used to pick the url color the same as the text color.

    Do people really type the url instead? Never heard of this.

    I use the text color. As many people know how an adwords ad looks like, hiding parts of it is IMHO a cheap trick
