Hyperlinks, A Theory

“Hyperlink theory may seem like inside baseball, but the stakes are high. The ad revenues of many Web sites depend on how many times they can get you to put your mouse on a link and click it, thus spending more time within the site, racking up more page views, seeing more ads. More than that, links are the very fabric of the Web. The easy connectivity they provide is what defined the Web and made it so popular.”
