Yahoo Uses Anchor Text as Title

I've been promoting a website with the use of wordpress comments to building in-bound links and to drive traffic.

Each comment I leave on other blogs uses the name "Mom" which works as the anchor text on Wordpress. At this time, the site currently has 2400+ links coming in according to Yahoo, many of which are in fact "no follow" links.

What is most interesting is that when I search for the URL of the site in Yahoo, the search engine does not use the title that I have set for the blog, instead, in the blue hyperlink on the SERPs, you see the word "Mom." The search engine has assumed this is the page title, I guess, due to the number of links with this anchor text.

I don't know how important, or relevant, this may be to your own SEO, but I found it quite interesting.

 

Wow, that's interesting. Just tried it out and it's true. Thanks for the head's up.

 

Ya its not a new algo. You can do this magic with the help of directory submission if the admin of directory allow short title. For yahoo, off-page even from blog comments and directories are possible.

 

Ah well

 

nice discovery. is this just for yahoo search?
can you also provide your blog url please.

 

Thanks for this nice information. I will try this technique

 

I will try and tell

 

I'm not sure. But, my friend was also telling about this.

 

Actually .. the title is in the most cases the same as the anchor text ..
