Writing effective link text

Some recent articles by Gerry McGovern focusing on writing good link text that informs the reader and encourages click through.

I've found that the most effective links are written like headings, not part of sentences at all. I've found that putting links in sentences reduces readability and clickability.

Links should embody the action... People only read as much as they absolutely have to before clicking... Lead with the need. Start with the most essential information.
