Author forgot title attribute

Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion.

Most SEO experts have come to agree that the a title attribute, title=”…”, or link title has no effect on search engine rankings. Without any SEO value, the question is, would adding the attribute make a better user experience or increase click through rates? I think not, adding a link title attribute exactly the same as the link text is redundant and would not help users, search engine might even see it as spammy.

Here are some SEOers who agree with me:
