We strongly recommend that you avoid use of the term, “Click here” when writing for the Web. We realize you see it all over the web but that doesn’t make it a good practice. Link text should be meaningful enough to make sense when read out of context—either on its own or as part of a sequence of links. Here are some explanations:
