The Importance of Anchor Text in Back-links

No Comments

The importance of anchor text with respect to a linking strategy cannot be overstated. Back-links are a huge part of the search engine algorithm. When initiating a linking campaign, it is vital that external sites link using the appropriate keywords and terms in the anchor text.

Almost always, linking candidates will use the company name as anchor text. This does not provide any type of description of the target company’s products or services. Sure, it may be great for branding purposes, but it isn’t usually needed. In most cases, companies already rank very high (if not first) for searches that incorporate their brand.

Here is an example using fictional company “Acme Plumbing Supplies”:

Most people will link simply using the terms “Acme”. This is alright, but it does not describe the company’s products or services, nor provide any context. By adding the word “plumbing” or term “plumbing supplies” (i.e. “Acme Plumbing” or “Acme Plumbing Supplies”), you may be able to drive additional traffic that may not have otherwise attained the corporate site.

  2. Cheri Luther was snowboarding under clear Colorado skies
    last weekend when, she had written on Facebook, she turned around
    and “saw this ‘darkish horses’ charging right for me.”

    It had been no horse. It had been a moose — a moose on the loose — galloping
    down the slopes at the Breckenridge Skiing Resort and passing skiers and snowboarders
    as if it were in a race to the bottom.

    This being 2017, Luther had a video camera at
    the ready and shot the whole marvelous thing — all while keeping yourself upright and moving on
    her snowboard. “I used to be too scared to avoid in case he was chasing after me!” she had written.
    Her friend filmed from another perspective, one that evidently proved the moose smoking the competition.

    [Two moose locked antlers in a struggle, then froze mutually in a stream]

    But was this a competitive moose, a frightened
    moose or a moose developing a blast? For moose habit analysis, we turned to Kris
    Hundertmark, seat of the biology and animals team at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.
    He has observed a lot of moose, and he previously several applying for grants this video.

    In Hundertmark’s view, the moose was more than
    likely worried. Hundertmark said it were a calf segregated from its mother, which it
    could usually stay near until she’s another baby toward
    the finish of May. But this calf is like a teenager moose — old enough
    to roam pretty far from Mommy while browsing for food, he said.

    Treat time probably got an alarming move when the snowboarders sailed down the hill.

    “I’d say the moose was startled by the snowboarders and its anti-predator strategy kicked in,” Hundertmark composed in an email.
    “If it had been with its mom, it likely would have considered a cue from her in regards to what to do. If she has lived in just a ski area for a long period, she might possibly not have paid the snowboarders any mind, knowing they weren’t a danger.”

    [You know the elements is bad when you find a moose in your basement]

    So the moose might have thought the snowboarders were predators.
    Then why keep jogging? Hundertmark said he’s seen this on Alaska highways during
    winter: A leg and a grown-up start running when a car approaches.

    “The automobile being faster than the moose, you soon get up to it and you can look out your side windows to start to see the moose operating right along side you,” Hundertmark said.
    “The moose still seems threatened, so that it keeps working. Once you complete it, it normally can stop running and dates back from what it was doing.”

    But from the Breckenridge moose’s perspective, other skiers uphill were
    still on its, er, tail — something it would know, Hundertmark
    said, because moose “eyes bulge out to the factors a lot more than some mammals’, and they can see what is behind them a lot better than we humans can.”

    Running into the forest also wouldn’t be a great
    option because the snow there would be deep and
    softer, meaning the moose would sink and need to expend
    more energy to flee the field, and conserving energy in winter is “paramount,” Hundertmark said.

    “We often see this behavior in Alaska during deep-snow winters,” he said.

    “Moose tend to hang out in people’s plowed driveways somewhat than wade although snow in the yard and can often be a nuisance when they won’t leave — often becoming competitive to humans leaving their homes.”

    Ah, Alaska.
