A/B Testing Idea #316 - Display links already used with a dissimilar colour
Description
Clearly show which links a user has already clicked on by displaying them in a different colour. Using another colour will help those links to stand out, which will help the user to keep track of what they have previously done on your site and avoid wasted time or undesired repetition. It's an easy personalised and intuitive element to include that will really facilitate the use of your website by better adapting to your clients' expectations. The easier-to-use and more adaptive your site is, the more likely people will be to enjoy using it and be encouraged to convert and come back again.
