Resource Time: How to Markup Hyperlinks
I am across a very interesting article the other day Monday By Noon’s “Click Here to Read this Article” it provides a very good explanation of why you should pick your anchor text correctly. While it is old the principles still apply and as I am sure you have seen , the practice of bad linking described in the article is all too present, even in todays more standards aware environment.
There are many other great articles on Monday By Noon, and I would encourage you to have a good look through all of them. And as always, the link will be available in the iDevs Del.icio.us page.
