## The Scent of Links

Links within navigation and content must be:

- Predictable
  Am I getting 'closer' to my goal?
- Differentiable
  What is the difference between clicking here or clicking there?

When creating links:

- Be descriptive
  - Link several words or a phrase, not just one or two words
  - Use "title" attribute to elaborate
- Don't lie
