I'm working on a site that has lots of click here links. I believe
it's considered bad form to use click here rather than making the
link on words that better represent the title of the page being
linked. Does anyone know a rule I can point to (and send my client to

You guys are completely off here. Links are supposed to be like this:
Get a href=http
I've been completely off on many occasions. However, I'd be wary of any
definitive statement, especially in the area of accessibility. While we all
crave right and wrong answers, there are often many shades of gray. :)
While blind users are not the only target audience for title attributes,
I haven't made up my mind about verbs in links yet, but a counter
example to yours Richard:
However, for pages where you're asked to register for a conference,
for example, there's no way you'd put:
Register for the
http://www.forbesconferences.com/?page=registerForbes Conference.
How
Well, I understand that screen readers don't use the title attribute
like they should, but that is a bad implementation in the screen
readers, not a misuse of the title attribute. That being said, I still
think that the solution to:
Download a href="" /a
is:
Download a href="" Software /a
attribute at all!
This is a question of usability, rather than accessibility.
