Currently, there has been numerous debates about the different factors affecting SEO and one of them is the relevance of a title attribute to links for SEO. For the benefit of those who are not sure what I’m talking about this is an example (*note the title part):

 

<a href=“http://….” title=“….”>

Is it really worth spending more time to add them to your article, especially one with lotsa links?

I’ve read a few articles and it seems that there are 2 distinct camps on this, which I shall call the optimist and the pessimist. Here I’ll attempt to summarise the primary lines of thoughts so that you can decide for youself if it’s suitable:

The Optimist:

 

Provides developers another place to effectively insert targeted keywords and descriptive text helping to increase the value of their document.

It’s there for the blind, where text to speech browsers read them aloud, so that people who cannot see can still know what the page being linked to is about.

Increases usability and accessibility to your site and does no harm.

The Pessimist:

Believes that search engines only uses it in consideration to the page being linked to and not the page the link is on.

If SEOs were to find out that they can be used to boost rankings, those who already use them may just make some changes to the way we use them.

There are well over 100 variables used by Google, smaller systems use more than 100 already, and they have less data to sort so nothing is constant as everything continuously readjusts itself everytime the environment changes.

Personally, I believe that if it increases the accessibility of your website - why not; but I believe it’ll be hard to constantly remember to add it to your article as it can be quite tedious. So are there any solutions out there to solve this?The answer’s yes but currently I’ve only found a solution for Wordpress users, so if any of the readers found another method of doing it easily, please update me as well =)So for Wordpress users, there’s a plugin called Title Grabber by Nick of Preow which automatically takes what�s in between the title tags on the linked page and adds it to the link attribute everytime you save an article. I’ve tried it and it works great although it adds a few moments to the saving time of your article. Nonetheless, a very good plugin which reduces your workload and helps improve the accessibility of your site.
