TEXT LINK
A TextLink is a hyperlink that contains a text string (rather than an image) as the visible "anchor" viewable on the web page in a browser window. It is also known as AnchorText.
Perhaps the best way to illustrate this is to show the code for both a text link and an image link.
An HTML text link could look something like this:
<a href="http://www.searchenginecollege.com">Search Engine College</a>
and an HTML image link to the same page could look something like this:
<a href="http://www.searchenginecollege.com"> <img src="http://www.searchenginewiki.com/seo101-files/sec-logo-small.gif"></a>
Note that in a browser rendering the above code in HTML (instead of how it is rendered within this .php wiki), the visible link on the text code would be:
and the second example would show the image itself as the link, such as:
Note that other aspects of a link, such as an AltImgTag for the image example, are not shown because they are not necessary to understand the concept of a text link.
