[BUSINESS] writing out anchors

[jonas]

This seems a nebie question well I guess it is because I have no clue what the answer is so putting it out here.

Lets say my site is google.com would you write google as the anchor or google search, or search engine, or find what you are looking for.

so much wrong with both these articles, but still good reading.


Creating anchor text that tells a user what to expect when they click a link to an internal or external page is the best approach. Anything else is probably overthinking it.

think of this
“Always remember: it is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood: there will always be some who misunderstand you.”

so test different anchor text for the same links as CTR is your most important statistic.
