CS 103 Link Text Examples
This page contains one example of good link text and five
examples of link text that could be improved. Transform the five poor
examples into five sentences with concise, readable link text that can
be understood out of context (such as in an alphabetical set of links
produced by a screen reader) and accurately represent the destination of
the link.
To fix the poor link text, download this file to your own computer,
and use a text editor to change the link text (move the hyperlink to a
different set of words in the sentence). Alternatively, you may change
the text of these sentences if you prefer, as long as the results are
still complete sentences and the meaning is unchanged.
