Hi,

I was wondering if was possible to put an alt label over text(So that when I hover over it it tells me something about the link). I have been able to do it with images but I have some links on my site that are in text that arent very clear on their links/destination.

Thanks :)

What software are you using to build/edit your website?

The way to do it is like this:

<a href="index.html" title="The main page of a website">Home</a>


I hope this example helps. It gives you a little pop up box with the info like alt text would do for an image. :)

Hi

Make sure you write 'rich descriptions' in your alt labels' as Google values Alt attributes in SEO (more and more).
