    What is the good practice to use as an anchor text when submitting to articles directories. Is url good for that? Or should i rather use keywords as an anchor text?

    Definitely use KW's as anchor text! Using just the URL is kind of pointless. Sure, it will count as a link and people will be able to find your site. But using achor text will have a bigger impact on improving your search engine rankings.

    You should use keywords as an anchor text and linking anchor text to websites. It will help to improve SERP on that particular keywords.

    If you want to rank your article in search engine by your targetted keyword then use anchor text & if you like to get only backlinks to rank money making website in search engine then you can leave the link alone.

    It is better use keywords as your anchor text than just place a naked link. If you are in a way to increase the number of backlinks only (not bothering keyword rank), placing just url itself is fine.

    Keyword only keywords. Your url as anchor text does not have much value. Crawler detects only related words which users insert in search box.

    You should use keywords as an anchor text. If you have the keyword in the anchor text in a link from another site, this is consider as a vote from this site for a specific keyword.

    You should ALWAYS use anchor text, and not just anchor text, but instead try to put in as much keywords as possible.

    There are times that you would want to use a url as the anchor text. For instance, if you are promoting an article that you want to be indexed when a search is preformed for a specific site, then using that sites url in the anchor text would work.

    I have found that using URL still gets you the results you want. The way it works is your onsite optimisation will tell the search engines what your site should be listed highly for. Your backlinks will then support your onsite optimisation and make search engines trust what you say on your website.

    Don't get me wrong, using your keywords in your linking anchor text is good but I always like to mix it up so that it doesn't seem like your backlinks are all crafted and it looks more natural.

    Yes. Anchor text boosts your relevancy which boosts your SERP ranking which gets you more traffic which is what you want.
