Writing link text
Link text should tell users what will happen when they click on the link.
A blind user can ask the screen reader to jump from link to link. If a link text is 'click here' the user will not understand the purpose of the link.
Important Rules
Do not use these phrases in link text:
- click here
- here
- this
- more
Do not use the URL as the text for the link
