So I wrote a post earlier this week, and promised to explain what anchor text was to you guys so here it is:
5 Key Reasons To Use Anchor Text:
-
Anchor text gives detailed information about a link rather than just a url
-
It helps search engines better interpret what your site is about.
-
It reinforces your sites keywords and content when linking externally.
-
It’s easier to read than long, messy URL’s.
-
Because your anchor text makes links descriptive you receive more targeted traffic from them.
There isn’t a whole lot to know about anchor text, but it is a very important aspect of your SEO campaign, so USE IT!
