There are some web sites that make use of a service that when you click on a link, you go to the proper page, or anywhere. I have found two ways that sometimes works.

Go back to the original page and try again

Right click on the link and select Copy Link Location. Be careful not to hit Copy Image Location by mistake. Once more, try the link normally. If it is still not the proper page, left click the address box and select Paste. DO NOT select Paste And Go. Look at what you just pasted. Somewhere in there is the web page you want. Remove the data in front of that link, then press Enter.
