Anchor Text

  • Anchor text represents the clickable words that are associated with a URL on a web page. When a user clicks on the words, they are directed to another web page. Algorithm-based search engines use anchor text to identify the topic of a page.Vizion Interactive: Anchor Text of Internal Links
  • Search Engine Optimization

    Search engine optimization is the process of driving traffic to a website by weighting algorithmic search results in a site's favor. Although most major search engines do not disclose their algorithms for determining search engine placement, it is believed that the strategic use of anchor text on pages that link to a webpage will improve the linked-to page's rank, and consequently, the traffic that the page receives.Vizion Interactive: Anchor Text of Internal Links

    In the following link, the text "Cat Eating Spaghetti" is the anchor text, even though the link itself is to the phrase "Spaghetti Cat."
