Tip about getting search engine friendly text links

TIP:

Search engine spiders can't follow every kind of Link that webmasters use. In fact, the only kind of hyperlinks that you can be certain all search engine spiders can and will follow are standard text-based links.

In HTML code, text-based links are written like this:

< a href="HTTP://www.Domain.com">Link text</a>

The link will look like this on a web page: Link text

All other forms of links can pose a problem for search engine spiders.

If you are using a WYSIWYG editor or content management system, it will usually output the correct HTML code for you when you insert a text link. You can verify that it is indeed a text link by highlighting the link text in your browser. If you can highlight it letter by letter like most other text on a web page, and you can copy and paste it to a text editor like notepad or Word, then you should be safe.
