If you've been on street articles a few times, you may have noticed that linking just doesn't work sometimes. I'm not sure if this is a problem everybody has or just me, but I wanted to offer a hand. First thing I'll say is: your linking problem is an easy fix :)

Primary linking problem I've had:

When I try to link the highlighted word or phrase, the entire url that was supposed to be linked, is just entered into the text.

For example, I try to make a link to a page in my website, and it comes out looking like the
example below (I'll just use my home page for the example).
In SA, I'll be writing about my home page, Savvey Coffee, and when I try to link my sites home page to the words "Savvey Coffee", it looks like this:

Savvey Coffee http://savveycoffee.com/

The problem we're having is that there is no actual link... Instead, for some reason, SA is just displaying the url next to the word or phrase that was supposed to be linked.

If this has happened to you, than you know that SA won't let you post your article like this.

The solution is simple :)

To Solve your linking problem, go ahead and complete your article, without links. Publish your article as is, and make sure everything is just as you want it to be, including the words that you want to be linked.

Your next step is to create a duplicate article, in a different window or tab. Bare with me here, you're going to have to make the exact same article. The exact title, keywords, and article body, But don't publish it quite yet!

In your duplicate article, you'll be able to add links :) Go ahead and add the two available links, and save this duplicate article as a draft.

Your final step is to delete the original article, and publish the duplicate article.

And you're done, links should be working perfectly :)

I hope this was of help to you :) Much luck, and blessing to your online business venture!
