In reply to Julie @Niackery.

Screen readers do not read title attributes by default. That's an option that must be enabled. However, I will agree that titles should never match the link text. Otherwise, they're definitely useless in any context, regardless of how the user is reading/viewing the site.

The "SEO" article was a joke about finding a way to get people to drop the title attribute. Although, your proposed article would make for a good read.
