So, i was trying to add link using
<a href="url">link text</a>​

And this is the result. Can someone tell me why is this happening and how to resolve it? Clicking on this opens a tab with Error 404.

You need to add http:// or https:// in front of your link, or else HTML thinks it needs to open a page on the current website.

Instead of http://www.yourwebsite.com, enter http://www.yourwebsite.com or https://www.yourwebsite.com
 
What is the URL in the browser when it displayed 404 page?

If it's your site, then there is a problem with your site and has nothing to do with the link. If it's the same blog, then there is a problem with your href code.

Since I'm not a coder, I thought this error meant that the comment is not accepting https or HTTP, and so I removed it. But after reading your answer and this error again, I figured out that there was an error with the code.
Again, thanks a ton. It's fixed.

Yeah, there was an error in the href code

Use the standard a href tag
Code:
 <a href="https://www.blackhatworld.com/">BlackHatWorld</a>
You can use http if there is no SSL, but it's necessary to have initial "https://" part. Otherwise, your link will be considered as a file path of the blog. It should work fine if you fix it.
 
Use secure version if you have otherwise try to change your browser then try to do comment, if you are getting the same message then you need to use https in the URL.
