How can I make link text stand out?

Question

How do I distinguish link text without using color alone? 

Answer

Adding a visual indicator other than color, such as an underline, is a great way to distinguish link text. Also, ensure that the link text color and any other visual indicators being used to distinguish link text meet the minimum required color contrast ratio with adjacent colors.
