Nice blog post from Allen Pike about link formatting. I’d add that overthinking SEO is a good way to lose your way. Design links for readers and the rest will take care of itself.

@manton I stopped caring for SEO long ago as I'm sure motivated sites have the skills and resources to outrank me anyway.

@manton I always struggle with this and his blog post helps me quite a lot, in light of accessibility requirements.

@manton Good article. I really liked this sentiment:

@manton There used to be a couple of browsers (iCab and/or OmniWeb come to mind) that had a command to harvest all the links on the page and present them in a list.

I still think about that whenever I'm titling a link. What do I want its title to be in that list?

@boredzo @manton I do this by dropping into the JavaScript console and typing document.getElementsByTagID(‘a’)
