Snap Preview Anywhere is a tool for site owners to provide a sticky and informative experience for your users. And it's free!

What is Snap Preview Anywhere? Snap Preview Anywhere enables anyone visiting your site to get a glimpse of what other sites you're linking to, without having to leave your site. By rolling over any link, the user gets a visual preview of the site without having to go there, thus eliminating wasted "trips" to linked sites.

What are the benefits of link previews?
Previews give site visitors the ability to 'look before they leap' when determining whether or not to click on a link.


What does that mean for site owners?
Previews help you, the site owner, keep the user on your site instead of losing them to the site behind the hyperlink (increases relevant, on-site page views).
