When you want to bring in more traffic to your website, you do one of two things. You either write more articles using specific keywords, or you build links. Both of these methods are very effective. You can also combine these methods to get some very powerful results. Here are a few tips on how to link anchor text.
First, what exactly is anchor text. You have probably read articles before, and at the bottom of the article, there is a group of words that are in a different color. Most of the time they are blue. They probably say something like, ‘click here,’ or ‘read more…’ or ‘continue reading.’ If you click on these words, you will be taken to another site. These words are considered anchor text. This is a great way to build traffic, but if you use these words, you are making a very common mistake.
When you link anchor text, it is very important that you decide to link to the right words. ‘Click here,’ doesn’t tell the reader anything about the website that it is linked too. It also doesn’t tell the search engines where the link is leading to either. If you want to maximize your traffic, you need to link to important anchor text. If you are linking to an article in a magazine, use the magazine’s title as the anchor text. This tells the reader where they are going when they click. It also sends a powerful message to the search engines.
Another important tip to know when you link anchor text, is that it does not have to come at the end of the article. You can link to any part of your article. People started placing their links at the end of the article, because they wanted people to finish reading. The sad news is, that most people are only going to read the first few paragraphs of an article before they move on.
