Verlinkung vs Link

link

'der Link' and 'die Verlinkung' both belong to the internet and digital texts. 'der Link' is the concrete element that you click on. 'die Verlinkung' means more the act of setting or creating such a link. So you can say: 'Auf der Seite gibt es einen Link' (there is a link on the page). But: 'Die Verlinkung wurde vom Autor eingefügt' (the linking was added by the author). Learners may confuse the words because they look very similar. Remember: 'Link' is the thing; 'Verlinkung' is more the action or the result of linking.
