About Anchor Text
Anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink. Search engines use it to understand what the linked page is about. However, over-optimization can trigger penalties.
A natural anchor text profile includes variety: exact match keywords, partial match, branded, URL, and generic anchors. Over-reliance on exact match anchors looks manipulative.
For internal links, use descriptive anchors that help users understand where they will go. For backlinks, you have less control but should aim for natural variety.
Analyze your anchor text distribution regularly, especially if building links. A sudden increase in exact match anchors can raise red flags.
