Capture Text Portion of a Website Link

I'm capturing clicks on website links but can't figure out how to capture the link text.

I'm using the Custom Page Code section of an Event Based Rule

Sample link: <a class="schoolLink" href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">Our New Website</a>

I know how to get the HREF:

var Link = this.getAttribute('href');
_satellite.notify("Link: "+Link);

Result: "SATELLITE: Link: http://www.sample.com"

How can I get the TEXT ("Our New Website")?

    Hi Ali, 

    As per our understanding for getting the text "Our New Website" , you have to use "this.innerHTML"  . Please see the below sample code for more details .

    var LinkName = this.innerHTML;
    _satellite.notify("Linkname: "+LinkName);

    please let us know in case of any questions or queries.

    Thanks & Regards
