It also helps paint a picture of how trustworthy you might be without even having to look at your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That clickable text is known as the link \u2018anchor\u2019 or \u2018anchor text\u2019, and your anchor text profile is simply an overview of how that text is distributed. Let\u2019s look at an example to make this clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I link to Ahrefs\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/site-explorer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Site Explorer<\/a>, the anchor text for the link I just included is \u201cSite Explorer\u201d. Looking at a snapshot of their anchor text profile below, we can see a breakdown of the most common ways people link to their website. We can see that most sites that link to them either use their brand name, website or the name of one of their tools (as I just did).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/singularity.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/anchor-text-screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Ahrefs' anchor text profile\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a healthy looking profile, let\u2019s take a closer look at why that is and some anchor text best practices to help your link building efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-the-bigger-picture\">Understanding the bigger picture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/essentials\/spam-policies\" target=\"_blank\">Google essentially considers active link building to be spam<\/a>. BUT, if you don\u2019t have enough links, your rankings will suffer. (Isn\u2019t SEO fun?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 480px;\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/E87jjnSCANThe\" width=\"480\" height=\"204\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/night-thursday-ritual-E87jjnSCANThe\" target=\"_blank\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that in mind, what you\u2019re trying to achieve is a profile that hits all of the points below but still looks natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-be-descriptive-tell-users-what-the-link-takes-them-to\">Be descriptive. Tell users what the link takes them to.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, users buy your product, not search engines. Descriptive text should be your first priority. This feels like a safer click for users and also gives them a reason to click that link in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they understand what the link is offering and it sounds like it\u2019d be helpful to them, they\u2019re more likely to click it. Which brings me to my next point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-referral-traffic-is-the-most-important-thing-a-backlink-brings\">Referral traffic is the most important thing a backlink brings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SEOs tend to focus solely on the intangible ranking improvement you get from quality link building. Really though, the most important thing is referral traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real. qualified users having a good reason to visit your website and build trust with your brand. Don\u2019t lose sight of that when considering your anchor text options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-relevance-makes-for-good-anchor-text\">Relevance makes for good anchor text<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distribution of your anchor text profile is a relevance signal for search engines. If you\u2019re a cannabis ERP platform but the most common anchor in your profile is \u201cpaint brushes\u201d, you\u2019re immediately raising some serious red flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your profile should typically look something like Ahrefs\u2019 above. The most common anchors are variations of your brand name and website, followed by products, services, features and integrations that you offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter how diligent, you will get random anchor text show up in your profile and that\u2019s fine. So long as the majority make sense and these random ones are the most common, you\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Singularity CTA Box -->\n<div class=\"singularity-cta-box\" style=\"background: #12293c; border-radius: 16px; padding: 50px 40px; margin: 40px 0; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 10px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); border: 1px solid #0d1e2d;\">\n    \n    <h3 style=\"font-size: 36px; font-weight: 800; color: #ffffff; margin: 0 0 20px 0; line-height: 1.3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: -0.5px;\">Is Your Anchor Text Good?<\/h3>\n    \n    <p style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #ffffff; line-height: 1.7; max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto 35px auto; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Good anchor text tells search engines and users exactly what to expect, builds trust, and boosts rankings.

You want your most common anchor text to be relevant to you, but you don\u2019t want it so curated that 100% of your links are spread across just 10 different anchor variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since a naturally-occurring link profile will have a lot of variation, if yours is nothing but a handful of keywords, that\u2019s another red flag that you\u2019re up to no good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-achieve-a-more-natural-profile-by-prioritizing-better-writing\">Achieve a more natural profile by prioritizing better writing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, if you\u2019re writing or contributing to content that\u2019s getting posted on another site, don\u2019t force your optimized anchor text where it doesn\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an old and obviously spammy tactic that we still see around. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Bad<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230; this is where &lt;ahref=&#8221;https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1AC4HFFBDBx0mriPn_S36WCVAAgybR9hMuvWMK50mluQ\/edit#&#8221;&gt;best hiring software 2023 comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Good<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8230; this is where <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1AC4HFFBDBx0mriPn_S36WCVAAgybR9hMuvWMK50mluQ\/edit#\" target=\"_blank\">hiring software<\/a> comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By using anchor text that feels natural, you\u2019re making sure it\u2019s still relevant to your site but not forcing over-optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anchor text might seem like a small detail, but it plays a huge role in both SEO performance and user trust. A well-balanced anchor text profile sends strong relevance signals to search engines, builds credibility, and\u2014most importantly\u2014drives real traffic from real people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re actively building links, aim for natural, varied anchor text that clearly describes what users can expect when they click. Let relevance guide you, not just keywords. When in doubt, write like a human, not a spammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get that right, and you&#8217;ll build a healthier link profile that stands the test of time and algorithm updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a tabindex=\"0\">What are the types of anchor text?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 5 tpes of anchor text you can use;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exact Match: Contains the exact keyword you want to rank for (e.g., \u201cbest running shoes\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Partial Match: Contains a variation of the keyword (e.g., \u201cbuy running shoes online\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Branded: Uses the brand name (e.g., \u201cNike\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Naked URL: Uses the URL as the anchor text (e.g., \u201cexample.com\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generic: Uses general phrases like \u201cclick here\u201d or \u201clearn more\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a tabindex=\"0\">What are the best SEO practices for using anchor text?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anchor text is one of the easiest things to control and get right in SEO.

Use a variety of anchor texts to appear natural to search engines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natural Language<\/strong>: Use natural language and variations of your keywords. You want your anchor text to fit into the content you\u2019re writing. Don\u2019t break the flow of your content just for the sake of SEO anchor text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid Over-optimization<\/strong>: Don\u2019t stuff keywords into anchor text. Focus on providing helpful and descriptive links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a tabindex=\"0\">Why is anchor text important for SEO?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anchor text is important for SEO as it helps users and search engines to understand and navigate between webpages.
