Hello,
I am wondering about editing down the link labels found on this page: http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/college/_f-salariesNEW.aspx . As you can see, they are quite redundant, as they restate, in part, what is in the heading that precedes them. However, if a screen reader user is in links mode they might appreciate the extra wording, to give them context - at least until they've heard a few of them! I suppose for purposes of SEO it is better to have the link labels all spelled out .

I would appreciate hearing opinions on this. Thank you.
