Link text

Some years ago, someone clever made recommendations about link text 
and text on the target pages. The goal was that users should 
understand the link text and have a good idea of where it would take 
them. Some prominent text on the target page should reassure them 
that they'd gotten to the right place, probably by repeating some of 
the link text.

I mentioned this to a client the other day and realized that I hadn't 
heard any discussion about it in a long time. Has anyone looked into 
this more recently? Anyone find anything different?
