Frequently Asked Questions
What is anchor text?
Anchor text is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. Search engines use it to understand the context and topic of the linked page, making it an important SEO signal.
Why are generic anchors bad for SEO?
Generic anchor texts like 'click here' or 'read more' provide no context to search engines about the linked page's content. Descriptive anchor text helps both users and search engines understand what to expect.
What is anchor text over-optimization?
Using the exact same keyword-rich anchor text repeatedly can look unnatural to search engines and may trigger penalties. A healthy link profile has diverse, natural anchor text.
Should image links have anchor text?
When an image is used as a link, the image's alt attribute serves as the anchor text. Always add descriptive alt text to linked images so search engines can understand the link context.
