how to add descriptions to your Links
Below that we have a title, title is very important it describes the link for visitors with accessibility issues and also for search engines that's because a visitor with accessibility issues will usually use some sort of off market browser like a text-to-speech browser or browser that for instance didn't show any color that way even if you add a link they will not know there's a link there unless you specify that there is one and they won't necessarily know where that link is pointing because of this you want the title to be more descriptive than just a link in this case I'll say www.yoursitename.com word press tutorials.
that way if the person who uses a text-to-speech browser hits this link they will see it says the www.yoursitename.com link to word press tutorials

how to increase your site index by search engines and readers impression
The matter what you do you create a link that points to somewhere else but here's an important tip always try to link to pages within your own site.
If you write something on a topic the written about previously create a link within your post or page that points to the other post page that contains the same topic, this is because search engines and your readers really like links they like to see related content, which means the more links you use to link within your own site the easier the site becomes to navigate, and the more time people are going to spend on your site,
and the easier it will be for the search engines to index your site properly.
if you find related content always link to it even if it's on your own site and like always when you're done click update to make sure you save your latest changes.
