Title attribute in text links
Hi everyone.

I always thought that the title attribute could help in a link. For instance, when you have a link that's on a single word in a text. Somehow it's a good way to add information on a link, or add a description...

Yesterday, a colleague told me that there isn't any proof whatsoever that this can help for the SEO, even it can help the visitor for sure. He added that in some cases, it can also be considered as spam.

Maybe it just doesn't hure but doesn't help. I always used this technique and my websites are all well positioned... well I think ;)

What do you guys have to say about that?

Thanks a lot.

They are good for visitor usability, but do not help keyword relevancy... or SEO.
