Title Attribute for Links
Accessibility/usability requires adding a title attribute to all links, just like the alt and title
attributes are added to images.
In addition, the title attribute is where you can apply SEO techniques. On one hand, you
can simple offer a quick one or two-word bit of information about what the link is, or you
can add reasonable SEO-enhancing description.

Kinds of Links
• Absolute URLs: An absolute URL is a full http address for a website somewhere
in the Internet, since this is the only way you can find the address. You would use
it for links external to your website, and inside your own website for submitted
form redirect pages. It is the fully typed out URL address.
• Relative URLs: Relative links are for pages in your own web project, and they
link to these files relative to where they are in relation to the page being linked
from. They contain partial link information: href=”images/imagename.ext”
• Email links: This operates the same way as normal links, but instead of linking to
a web page, you link to an email address: href=”mailto:emailname@domain.com”
• Anchor links: While all links are anchors, anchoring links are usually to a specific
point in either the same document as the link, or to a specific place in another
document in your website. They are used to shortcut the jump from the link to the
information, such as using a links of section links on a long FAQs page, or jumping
from a reference on one page to its citation on a reference listing page.
• Images: Images are not linked using the tag, but pulled in with the
tag. However, because you are still asking your code to show an image somewhere
in your website, the linking locations below apply.
