Re: link only saying "click here"

'Click Here' is one of the most used link text out there. It is often
added by content managers or small site owners who are unaware of
accessibility checkpoints.

Our team maintains the technology on our sites, I do my best to make
sure everything technologically meets WCAG 2.0 AA. I also do
accessibility audits and mark this type of issue as not meeting
checkpoint 2.4.4. Because we are technology and not content, I
cannot change the link text.
