Single Quotes to Quote an Internet Link?
I see a lot that people will put in single quotes the name of a link on the internet. For example, it might say, "click on the 'Contact Us' link." Is this correct? or would it be, "click on the "Contact Us" link"?

Both are OK; it's just a style choice.

Hi
I think it is a choice but, if I were using 'quotes within quotes', then I would try to make them different - make one pair of quotes single and the other double:
- I might say "click on the 'Contact Us' link."
- I might say 'click on the "Contact Us" link.'
If you don't do that, your reader may momentarily think that the quote has come to an end:
