-- Creating Links --


(NOTE: For the purpose of showing the exact text needed to make 
the links clickable these links have been deactivated so none of 
them show up as links on the page.)

Creating "clickable" links with AOL's email program is a common 
problem.  It has nothing to do with the AWeber System but rather 
AOL's email software and the way that the links are written in your 
messages on AWeber.

For most people not on AOL when they write or receive a link they 
follow the format:

	Web Site Link:
	http://www.aweber.com/

	Email Link:
	mailto:example@aweber.com

If you were to email something written like that to almost anyone 
not on AOL they would be able to click directly on them and go to 
the site.


Now comes the tricky part for AOL.  When an AOL users writes an 
email message their email software automatically converts the 
links to HTML format so they can be clicked directly on by other 
AOL users.  For example:


<A HREF="http://www.aweber.com">Click Here for AWeber</A>


Now when someone on AOL receives the above text in the message 
it'll display, "Click Here for AWeber", and when clicked on they 
will be taken to http://www.aweber.com in their web browser.   
Remember, if you utilize this format AOL users will only see the 
"Click Here for AWeber" but anyone else on another system will 
probably see all of the text in the example above.   You probably 
only want to write your links like that if a vast majority of 
your leads will be coming in thru AOL.

Below are some other examples of creating links for AOL followed 
by the text that would actually be displayed when they are seen 
in AOL's email program.


<A HREF="http://www.aweber.com">http://www.aweber.com</A>


It would display, "http://www.aweber.com", since that's the text 
between the > and < signs above.
