Ensure link text is meaningful within context

It is important for users to be able to discern the purpose of all links. Meaningful link text should not be overly general and should clearly describe the content to be found or action to be performed by the link. For example, do not use generic text such as "click here", "read more", etc. unless the purpose of the link can be determined by meaning in the surrounding content. When a link's purpose can not be determined users may be required to follow the link to determine its purpose. Returning to a previous location can often be more difficult for users with disabilities using assistive technology. Thus, developers must ensure that a link's purpose is clear.
