The next iteration will get into more of the design and hierarchy behind links (very important when you have a client who wants more than one "CTA"). @Shalom: It would be superfluous if I hadn't already prefaced the link as needing a "call to action." This is similar to your site, where you prompt users to "view project," rather than simply stating "project." Watch your type-os there, BTW.

You've got some good rules of thumb in here. However, I would remove the first two words of your first example link, so that the link simply says 'MOMA'. As you later point out, users know how the web works, so 'Check out' is superfluous. Very informative. You’ve got some good rules of thumb in here.

Hopefully in Part 2 you'll go into pop-up windows, mystery meat, and link usability. Great article. Hopefully in Part 2 you’ll go into pop-up windows, mystery meat, and link usability.
