A strong post and some good food for thought regarding "usability vs seo" on the age old debate of how useful "Click here" is coupled with some Statistical information.

I have no idea where to find the contact form on this site, a better link than the one in this item is: http://www.copyblogger.com/click-here/

You can still use the word "click", just don't use it in the anchor text!

"Click to [buy a widget]".

"Click for the [widget] page".

"Click for a [summary]".

You already used [Vote at Digg] with no "click" in the phrase at all.

Plenty of ways to get the job done.

@g1smd:

Just to clarify, while I wish I could claim Copyblogger was my site because it's fantastic, it definitely is not. I agree with your points though.
