I have Linked the “about Anchor text”(wiki) – at the end of the First sentence. check it .
Oh Dang! I never knew that Adobe uses the Alt text “Click Here” for PDFs. Nice observation bro
They never use that ALT tag. But we do it in that way
This is really interesting and worthy… I think we always should use NoFollow on Click Here, Read More or View all in our site.
