DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE

Create links that describe where the link is going, avoid URLs as links.

MEANINGFUL, DESCRIPTIVE HYPERLINK TEXT

Avoid making links with generic text such as "click here". Make the link text descriptive of where the link takes you. For instance, instead of:
Click here to get Adobe Reader
do this:
Get Adobe Reader

REPEATING HYPERLINK NAMES ON A PAGE

Avoid adding links to a page or document that repeat the same descriptive link text. For instance a hyperlink created to a number of quizzes on the page, and the name of the link is the same for each quiz. So, there could be eight links on a page that all say "Quiz". This practice will make it hard for the screen reader user to decipher, especially if they search a page for all links (a common practice). Instead, make your links more descriptive, such as Quiz 1, Quiz 2, etc.
