When users scan a page for the “Shopping cart” button or “Register now” link, the first place they look is the top-right corner of the page. Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, keep this functionality in its familiar location, or else you risk slowing down and disrupting the user experience.

In most cases, the best way to indicate this difference is by making links a different color and underlining them. In some cases, a strong contrasting color alone is enough; but only underlining or just changing the color slightly is rarely enough and will often impair accessibility.
