It only takes a minute to add a description and a few keywords. A little information goes a long way - it helps your stuff show up in a search, lets users filter using keywords, makes fans more likely to actually check it out (and rate!), and it just looks better. For example, have a look at the difference between the link links and the link links. You can do better, kids.
But if also has a program that warns you if the link you're about to follow is dangerous so I usually do.
I don't tend to worry too much about viruses, spyware, malware, etc. as my computer's nicely protected but I can see why that would put people off of clicking an external link on Fanpop (although that goes for links that do have a good description too - just because someone has described a link still doesn't mean that's what it leads to). So my first advice is to get antivirus software that you can trust, and my second is to be cautious that people will lie sometimes (like Flickerflame said).
But yeah, for me the title itself is the attention-grabbing part. Helps if people put an informative description and keywords, but sometimes people who don't do that still end up posting good links anyway, so if the title interests me enough I might click on it!
(Even if I'm saying "please don't be malware/viruses/porn" under my breath!)
