If you are SEO expert , you would have known the importance of Anchor text. Search engines takes anchor text as one of the key parameter to display the search results. If you are newbie and don’t know what is anchor text , see this example
Here “Maverick Money Makers Review” is the Anchor text . When search engine bots crawls your website , it associates your Anchor text with the Landing page.
Here is an example to show the power of Anchor text :
- Go to Google.com
- Search for the phrase “Click here“
- You may get Adobe website as first result.
If you look into the Adobe landed web page keenly , you would have found that there is no text “Click here” , yet it is ranks well (very well) . This is because many website sharing PDF file, links to this site to get free Adobe reader incase if the users don’t have it , with the Anchor Text – Click Here
There are many places you can place link with Anchor text such as in Post , Forum , Comments, etc. If you are place Anchor text in Comment, i would recommend to use it after gaining the reputation of the Website owner/author. otherwise they might Unapprove it thinking your comment as a SPAM.

Thanks a lot for this informative post mate! I have seen anchor text but never knew for what people use it! :D
Anchor text is something people ignore all the time. I always make sure that I interlink my posts within my blog with appropriate anchor texts ;)
Why do I use anchor text?! :(
I have Linked the “about Anchor text”(wiki) – at the end of the First sentence. check it .
Oh Dang! I never knew that Adobe uses the Alt text “Click Here” for PDFs. Nice observation bro :D
They never use that ALT tag. But we do it in that way
This is really interesting and worthy… I think we always should use NoFollow on Click Here, Read More or View all in our site.
Yes.. but there is no problem , they already have high Backlinks
that’s quality post mate, very cleared one. thanks :-)
Wonderful!!
Glad you liked it
Above all is right but as my experience anchor text is impotant but not more. Beacuse when we create a links back to our site then we increse ranking for the page contain keywords depending on competation .If achor thext is so important then how can we increse ranking for various keyword of our pages ?
We should build backlinks on different Anchor text with related keywords.
