		kalleboo on June 24, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why Your Links Should Never Say “Click Here” I was going to mention SEO and use the example of googling for "click here", but I was surprised how the wikipedia article on the phenomenon in the OP ("Mystery meat navigation"[1]) actually managed to make it to #3, amidst downloads for Acrobat Reader, QuickTime, Java runtime etc. How did Google manage that? I'm impressed. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation

Google downplays link text after the "miserable failure" incident, and only that Wikipedia page has the search keyword on the content page itself.
