Right, that’s great thanks. Will need to go through entire site, I suspect, but will change it straight away on newsletters etc.

Not a daft question at all.

Yes, it’s better for search engines if the text is more meaningful, so in your example I’d go with the NLP training in Scotland. Click here tells nobody anything really

So, daft question. I know how to do the posh links, but in terms of the text you highlight, is it better for search engines if you use the descriptive words rather than words like “here”. So, um “click here for more information about NLP training in Scotland” with “NLP training in Scotland” highlighted as the link, rather than what I would usually do which is make “here” the linked word. Does that make sense?
