Is title= Spammy Or Not?

April 20, 2007

You’ll be aware that you can use title=”something” as part of your html for a url link. Hover over this link to google to see what I mean. This one hasn’t got a title when you hover over.

Used sensibly I think that link titles can look quite smart. Question is, are they considered spammy or not? Should you never use them, or only sometimes, or all the time if you do use them? Do they improve your sites usability?

Even Vanessa Fox is inconsistent in her use of them in her google blog posts. For example, in this post she’s used them all the time, but in this post it’s 50-50.

Anyone have an opinion?

    Very funny JC,

    Disappointed to read “no she’s not in the nude”, although do have a funny web cam experience to share with relatives speaking of nude.
    Anyhow I would suggest as with most things moderation is best practise – except the dreaded drink.
    R.

Got something to say?
