Links

Links should always be descriptive. Users need to be able to figure out the link destination and its meaning without having to read all of the text around it. This is so that users have the option to scan all of the links on a page before diving into the content.

1. Include context/purpose in links

2. Use the title attribute

The title is used to provide additional text to describe a link, and helps to clarify or further describe the purpose of the link. However, keep in mind that if title attribute is something the user should know before following the link, such as a warning, then it should be provided in the link text rather than in the title attribute.
