usability - Whether to use "Click Here" in Links for non techincal users


The hyper links containing the word "Click Here" is against the principles of Usability as the whole focus shifts towards the mouse and further it does not guide the users about the information of content that he is going to access.


In India , lot of users still are not very familiar with basic features of Web as India is still in the development stage in terms of using Internet. And so i have observed that a huge chunk of users in India don't understand that a blue text with underline signifies a link. Whenever I use "Click here to Read" instead of "Continue Reading" (In my page which lists down synopsis of 4 to 5 articles) , I observed that users start accessing to the content by clicking on that hyper link.


So i want to ask that under such scenario whether i should still avoid "Click here" or there is any other way out
