Hi, I am confusion about "which serves better in SEO? Graphical Links or Text Links" Thanks in advance.
Both types of links play their own part. It is believed that text gets easily indexed that is why webmaster prefers text links. On the other hand image linking has its benefits, If you have image Sitemap then you should not hesitate for graphical linking. Images attract more attention so they tend to get more traffic... Images have more potential to get viral.
Most of the people would vote for this question in the favor of text link. Here is a comparison to make your life easy. In text link you get: A. Anchor text B. Link to your web page. In Image Link you get: A. Alt text [which is good as anchor text]. B. Link to your webpage. C. Ranking on google.com/images search. D. Grabs more attention of users. Which means, you should always go for image links if possible.
Text links Text links Text links. Also, when structuring your internal page's links, make sure that your anchor text link appears before any other links to the same page... i.e say you want to link from your dog training page to your puppy training page using the anchor text puppy training. If there was an image linking to the same page which appears before the anchor text link then google will give the first link the priority meaning that you lose all of the anchor text juice.
