What is anchor text? Here's how to use it to boost SEO
In this video I discuss what anchor text is, how it is used in SEO and the best practices you should follow when creating anchor text on your website.
Anchor text is the clickable text that contains a link to a webpage (a hyperlink).
Search engines look at anchor text when crawling your website for links. Anchor text is used to give context and meaning to the content it is linking to. Therefore you must make sure your anchor text is relevant to the article you are linking to so that Google can determine exactly what the content is about.
You must make sure that your anchor text makes sense and is helpful to readers. You want to get readers clicking through to different articles on your website and spending more time on your site overall.
Your anchor text must not deceive readers either. Make sure people know exactly what they will be clicking through to – anchor text must always be relevant to the content it is linking to.
Lastly, when you use internal linking or ask for backlinks that point to a particular article on your website, make sure the anchor text is not always identical. Search engines like Google may consider this “spammy” as having the same anchor text across multiple websites or your own articles will seem disingenuous and unnatural (like you have been paying for backlinks).
