    In SEO terms what is the blue highlighted link called?


    For example, if i go to Google and type in "apple store" the first link that comes
    up is

    "Welcome to the Apple Store" <----- What is this called?

    then at the bottom the link is

    store.apple.com <-------- what is this called?


    Which one of these is the "Page Title"?

    "Welcome to the Apple Store" is the page title in this case

    store.apple.com is the url

    if you have the keyword in your domain name (title of url) it's super great. in title tag is good.

    Page title and page description are more important than Keywords in url.

    I am by no means a 'guru' but while keywords are important in a URL (thats what I did) they are vital in the title, in Google up to 72 characters, first word most important etc.

    But of course once you have sorted out your sites on page seo, the off page becomes all important (the reason you are in here). Anchor text on other sites can more than make up for any issue with URL and yes, even title.

    "Welcome to the Apple Store" is the Anchor Text ( Title Of That website's page ) &
    "store.apple.com" is the Url
