Big-Link Techno is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Big-Link has been the industrys standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Big-Link passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Big-Link.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Big-Link is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using Content here, content here, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Big-Link as their default model text, and a search for Big-Link will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
