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:
> If it’s just in an internal doc or an email, it might be low-stakes UI, but it’s still worthy of consideration.
@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?
