    The Importance of Anchor Text in SEO

    Anchor text is one of the most fundamental yet misunderstood aspects of search engine optimization, in that most people view it as a way to simply improve the appearance of their links. While anchor texts do shorten your links and make them look more attractive, they also serve an even deeper purpose for search engine optimization. An anchor text is a piece of text that is used to describe a link. Thus, instead of distributing a long and unattractive text link that contains an entire URL, you can use anchor text to name the link whatever you’d like. The average site visitor is much more likely to click on a piece of anchor text, rather than a 50 character long unattractive URL.

    Normally, anchor text contains keywords which can help you rank your site for that particular keyword. Every webmaster uses it as they do their link building.

    Anchor text is a phrase through which your website is recognized by search engine crawlers/spiders.
