Oh, come on now.
This is an entire piece about links and how they appear to the eye. That being the case, naturally I'll want to include some links from time to time just to make a point. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to click on each and every one! Do you really expect me to type up dopey little pages for every bit of anchor text I'm holding up as an example of anchor text?
Let alone, relevant ones?
Just read the essay.
