  What is the link to? Is it an advertising link?

  Be aware that using click here is the worst possible choice of anchor text.

  First make sure you are running one of the browser versions found here > http://browsehappy.com or upgrade to one of them.

  Then consult the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  This is the general link model:
  <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

  This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
  Highlighted anchor text here

  1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice.
  2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
  3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
