Best Way to Link your Text for SEO

1/18/2013

The best way to link your text on your website is to make sure to create the link on the words you want to promote and don't waste it on words like "here" or "click".

This is an easy fix for any website or blog that can really help your search results.  Even though it's a simple fix with great results, many website owners and bloggers don't do it. Either they don't know about the difference in linking text or it's just too easy to fall into the "click here" mode.  I even find myself doing it sometimes.

Search engines like Google pay extra attention to the words that are linked. They use them to help determine how relevant your website is to the keywords searched. Linked text (called anchor text) is significant because it tells the search engines what is included in the link. If your anchor text is "here", you're missing out on letting Google know more about your page and website.  

Take some time to go through your website and fix these links. It won't take long, but it will help enormously (make sure not to take it too far by linking lots of words or sentences. That will have the opposite effect).
