How about link text?

Back in the old days, it was pretty important that links used meaningful text, but I'm not sure if it still is.

I see a lot of instances of random links in sentences, such as " Following on from the previous mission ".

Is it still better for SEO to say " Following on from the previous mission, Name of previous mission "?
