Text size for links

[glenng]

Recently, someone mentioned that the text size of a font can influence the effectiveness of an outbound link and format (bold and/or italic). Is this true? If it is true - what text size, etc be used to make the link most effective?

The short and the quick? There is no "ONE" size that is more important than another. It's relative to other text on the page.

Thank you for your prompt answer - I thought this might be the case, just wanted to get other opinions.

Back in the day you could make a huge text link. If you used a seven bold or a huge <h1> Tag it really did make a difference. I doubt if it still works as the search engines put less weight on, on page factors
