This means you can create hyperlinks inside of other elements, like headings or text decoration tags.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-hyperlinks-strategically\">Using Hyperlinks Strategically<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThere are many ways you can use links strategically in your site.  This is valuable for making your site more user-friendly, but also for search engine optimization purposes.  Note, however, that linking alone will not guarantee better marketing or search results, but these are considered best practices as of today:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"org-ul wp-block-list\"><li>Use link text to accurately describe where the link leads to; for example do not title links with text like \u201cclick here\u201d or \u201cthis link\u201d; instead, be descriptive, like \u201cterms or service\u201d or \u201cas published last summer\u201d<\/li><li>Do not link to sites that appear fishy or dubious<\/li><li>Remember that a link is like a vote that approves of the website you are linking to\n<ul class=\"org-ul\">\n<li>If you wish to disavow this vote, use a <code>rel: nofollow<\/code> HTML attribute or, for example: <code>&lt;a rel=nofollow href=\"URL\"&gt;link text&lt;\/a&gt;<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> In general, consider a link on your site a way of improving and strengthening the interrelated information of your site and expanding it to the greater web wherever appropriate.  Well done!
