    Yes, you should search the forum first and see if the same thread is created before, this is good thing to get answer to your question.

    However, anchor text is keyword which is linked with the url!

    Anchor text is the visible and clickable text in a hyperlink. It is also defined as hyperlinked words on a web page. It gives information to the viewer about the content of the page you are linking to.

    Just like the person said, "keyword" + "link" = your anchor text.

    Anchor tag is used for creating links so with this help you can assign target keywords.It is a piece of text that is used to describe a link. Hence, instead of distributing a long and unattractive text link that contains an whole URL, you can easily use anchor text to name the link whatever you’d like.

    Anchor text is the text contained in a link. It is called anchor text because it links one "anchor" to another "anchor" in the World Wide Web.anchor text is the specific word or string of words styled to indicate that clicking those words will bring the user to an additional page of content.Anchor text is the visible text in a hyperlink. Anchor text gets a lot of weight in search engine algorithms because the linked text is usually relevant to the landing page.

    If seen by your competitors, anchor text is a dead giveaway to what exact product you are trying to sell!

    The anchor text is the visible and clickable text in a hyperlink, and that word directly affects the ranking received on search engines by that page.

    You have been given some good examples of what is anchor text. When you typed your question into this tread if you had highlighted some text and click on the insert/edit link. That highlighted text would be your anchor text because you made that piece of text into a clickable link. You can also create an anchor text by add a piece of code to your web page.

    Many people don't seem to realize just how important anchor text is.
    Before launching an SEO campaign the most important thing to do is keyword research. It's no use ranking #1 for a keyword if Google has 5 searches/month for it. You need to have a keyword that:
    1) has many searches
    2) not too competitive.

    Once you decide on the keyword you need to start playing around with your anchor text, varying it up a bit.I'd say no more than 20% of your total anchors should be your actual ranking anchor text. That being said, I'd make sure that almost all my high authority quality links had my anchor text, as those are the most important.

    Anchor text can make your keyword link back to your website if you give your website link in ahref tag.
