    Hello guys. I am just confused what an "anchor" means. I am sure its about signature and other links. What is it?:confused:

    I was given one link and two 'anchors'. Those anchors are two lines. And the person wants me to have same link for both anchors. Please tell me what it means

    Yeap. You can find anchors in my signature like 'Web Hosting Rating','Web Hosting','Web Hosting Rally' etc. We can use anchors for our urls.

    <a href="http:// www. happilyhomebased.com">Home Based Business Opportunity</a>
    so Home Based Business Opportunity will be your anchor text and it's your key words you wants to target.

    <a title="text A" href="http://www.yourdomain.com">text B</a>

    General speaking anchor text refers to "text A".
    Sometimes, it also refers to "text B"
