Best Practices for Links and Preview Content in Notes
Best Practices for Links and Preview Content in Notes
Link and preview hygiene dramatically affect usability and discoverability. Here’s how FragBin users can optimize both.
1. Descriptive Anchor Text
Prefer:
[View deployment guide]
Over:
[click here]
2. Contextual Excerpts
Start each paste with a clear, single-sentence purpose. Many tools and search snippets rely on that first line.
3. Avoid Link Dumps
Group related links under subheadings. Add a one-line explanation.
4. Reference Stability
Use canonical documentation URLs; avoid deep ephemeral links unless necessary.
5. Raw Mode Integrity
Verify that the first 160 characters remain meaningful without markdown rendering-this helps meta descriptions.
6. Internal Linking Strategy
Cross-link high-value pastes to create a lightweight knowledge graph.
7. QA Checklist
- Descriptive link labels
- Concise excerpt
- No duplicated links
- Proper heading hierarchy
Strong link semantics + intentional preview content turn FragBin pastes into durable micro-knowledge assets.
