What problem are you trying to solve?
When the text content of an
<a>
element is not self-explanatory and put dependently inside a context, it could be search-engine-unfriendly, for example:The links are about pictures while the text contents of these links are dates which are not self-explanatory, making it search-engine-unfriendly.
What solutions exist today?
There are currently two workarounds:
title
attributes to links:However, this creates unnecessary tips on this links.
However, this creates verbose text.
I would say both the two workarounds modify the document content, in order to just to cater to both the users and SEO. In other words, they couple UX and SEO in a ugly way. I think some better solution might be provided, perhaps via spec. Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks!
