need help please anchor text

Need some help been out of the game for awhile, need to know how to write anchor text in a article < a href="www.offf.com">ferrari</a>...........how would i do it if i want to use the word Ferrari ?, thanks dpers.

 

I think you got it right its:

<a href="link">Ferrari</a>

that will show up as Ferrari with a link on the word.

 

Ok i will try and see if it works, thanks

 

Yes, there's usually two methosds for anchor text, either the "a href" html tag you stated, or

[url=http://site.com/]anchor[/url]

Code (markup):

for BBcode sites.

 

Thanks guys it worked for me.

 

If you have a URL on your site that you are trying to rank for "ferrari" then don't make every link to that page use the same link text. I would suggest using the EXACT link text you want to rank for 40-60% of the time... and the remainder of the time use lots of slight variations like "ferraris" as well as mostly 2 word variations like "ferrari automobiles" so the keyword density of "ferrari" within the link text is high (50%)... But also include a small percentage of links w/ 3, 4, and 5 word phrases that include "ferrari" and "ferraris". This makes your back link profile look much more natural.

 

"Ferrari" looks like a very competitive keyword. Maybe you should rethink if you really want to use that as your anchor text. Long-tail keywords are much easier to optimize. Try other keyword variations like "red ferrari," "new ferrari," "ferrari car," etc.

 

Ok thanks for your input guys, ferrari is fairly competive, but not extremely. So when i do the anchor text in lets say ferrari, and click on it, it should send me to my site correct ?, do i need http:// www.com, or is just www.com ok in the anchor text ?. ANYBODY ????

 

If you're linking within your Web site and don't care about absolute URIs, you can ditch the http:// and www. parts. If you're linking to another Web site, you MUST include the http:// at the very least.

 

Im doing it on my home page, and some inner pages, i went with http://www.dffdf.com, without the http, i get a 404 error. So i should be fine with the http://www.com ????

 

What's your code look like when you use the link without the HTTP:// prefix?

 

Here is how my anchor looks

<a href="http://www.exoticcartours.com">Ferrari</a>


What do you think dan ? i hope this is ok, cause i did this to my keywords on the site ??? thanks for your input.

 

It's fine. Shouldn't be causing any problems.

 

Seems to work fine, thanks for your help Dan.

 

also you the title tag in yout links for those accessibility issues.
Should look like: <a href="link" title="Ferrari">Ferrari</a>

 

What accessability issues ? now your confusing me ?

 

Yes he is. In fact, just repeating the content of the anchor element can cause issues. If anything, it should read something like "Listing of Ferraris for sale" or "The Official Ferrari Web Site" for example (should it even be used at all).

 

Got you. Can you guys recomend what seo pluggin is the best for wp, im using 2.83 wp, there are a ton of seo pluggins ?
