Wha tare the differences between button links and text links, if you intend to use it as internal linking to important pages?? Which one carries more strength ? (or are equal?)
Is the button text (for ex: buy hunting shoes) considered as anchor for the lnked page? If we use buttons for internal linking... THX very much.
