    Anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink. SEO best practices dictate that anchor text be relevant to the page you're linking to, rather than generic text. The blue, underlined anchor text is the most common as it is the web standard, although it is possible to change the color and underlining through HTML code. The keywords in anchor text are one of the many signals search engines use to determine the topic of a web page.
    Example:
    <a href="http://www.google.com/html">Anchor text example</a>
    Code (markup):

    Anchor text is the visible characters and words that hyperlinks display when linking to another document or location on the web.

    Anchor Text is the clickable link in a body of word and character which directs to another page on or off the site.

    HTML syntax for anchor text is:
    <a href=”Sample" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/”>Sample Anchor text</a>
    Code (markup):
    In the above code” Sample Anchor text” is the anchor text which leads to example.com
