- Avoid using 'click here' as link text; use meaningful text that explains the link's purpose.
- Link text should provide context when read alone, explain what the link offers, and avoid verb phrases.
- Example: Instead of 'click here to download Amaya,' use 'Get Amaya!' with 'get' not in the hyperlink.
- Further reading includes W3C guidelines and articles on hypertext writing and accessibility.
- W3C QA Tips are informative documents for web developers, not normative specifications.
