"Anchor linking" 29.3.07
Anchor text link...Had an email from a reader asking what I meant in an earlier post when I wrote that.
Glad you asked if you don't understand, never daft questions are there? ;o)
So, as with any text link it's clickable yet with anchor links you are also using a keyword link, like if I wanted to share a post I made about my dog.
I would use keyword link to give that link more "weight" to the search engines view on that link and the content on the page.
As in this example I would write take a look at Kaya in her youth.
That is the title of the very post.
A common mistake people make is to have all their links saying "click here" for link love.
That is not a good anchor text link at all.
Better would have been to link "link love".
I am sure you can imagine why now. :o)
It's a bonus when it comes to SEO (search engine optimisation).
Hope that makes sense and if not, post in the comments and we will work it out. ;o)
Take care,
