In the phpally rule that scans for whether or not an anchor link is suspicious, it only uses a few strings to make that determination, and it is very easy to bypass it.

Line 15-16 in phpally/src/AnchorSuspiciousLinkText.php:

var $strings = array('en' => array('click here', 'click', 'more', 'here'),
'es' => array('clic aqu&iacute;', 'clic', 'haga clic', 'm&aacute;s', 'aqu&iacute;'));

We need to find a more flexible way to address this issue.
