They’re not exactly the strongest uses of anchor text because they tend to provide little no context or information as to what the page is about, what readers will find there, and why it\u2019s adding to the knowledge you\u2019re already providing.<\/p>\n A good<\/em>\u00a0anchor text is organic<\/strong>, has a purpose<\/strong>, and is varied<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Let’s break down these buzzwords:<\/p>\n An organic<\/strong>\u00a0anchor text fits naturally with the context of the content and doesn’t seem like it’s been forcefully inserted there just for the sake of it.<\/p>\n A purposeful<\/strong>\u00a0or relevant<\/strong>\u00a0anchor text gives the audience a clear idea of what to expect when they click on the link. For example, if the link leads to an article about “SEO best practices,”<\/em>\u00a0the anchor text could be something like “SEO best practices guide”.<\/em><\/p>\n Variation<\/strong>\u00a0in anchor texts is key. A diverse range of anchor texts amplifies your link building efforts as you incorporate different keyword variations, brand names, and generic phrases. This diversity not only appears more natural to search engines but also caters to a broader range of user search intents. It’s a win-win.<\/p>\n Try a mix of different kinds of anchor text that fit these parameters to reap the real benefits of link building.<\/p>\n Here’s a good example: This is how a simple statistic was used as a backlink to a high-quality, credible medical study on one of our client’s websites:<\/p>\n Source: TOPS Surgical Specialty Hospital Blog Post: https:\/\/www.tops-hospital.com\/3-signs-that-your-shoulder-pain-isnt-temporary\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n The anchor text is contextual<\/em>\u00a0to the subject, sharing an insight into the numbers<\/em>, i.e., 18%\u201326% of adults, while the link is: https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4836557\/<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n As part of our backlink building services, we run a complete backlink audit to evaluate the quality and efficacy of your current strategy. This helps us identify bad or toxic links and paid links that do very little for your business.<\/p>\n Not removing toxic links is detrimental to your rankings because they\u2019re often connected to poor quality websites, including scammy platforms with zero regulation or editorial control.<\/p>\n They’re typically connected to mirrored pages that use the same anchor text repeatedly and have low domain authority and trust scores. Having too many of these links will not only tank your SERP ranking but could also lead to the removal of your page from search engine listings altogether.<\/p>\n Since these links are identified through two algorithms, there\u2019s very little wiggle room to convince Google to change its mind. Additionally, Google has people working at the backend to identify and evaluate spammy content links to take action based on their findings.<\/p>\n Here’s how we helped one of our clients, A to Z Pediatrics<\/span><\/a>, get rid of toxic links.\u00a0One of the first things our audit revealed was the poor quality backlinks they had, and our team not only diversified their reach but chose higher-authority domains to get the job done.<\/p>\n Ultimately this<\/strong>\u00a0jump from 76 backlinks to 195 led to a 132% increase in web actions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s through an extensive backlink audit and custom strategies that we\u2019re able to boost your rankings and create a more effective online presence<\/strong>. Our team will deploy a wide range of strategies to generate more traction and redirect readers to your website.<\/p>\n The higher quality sources and strategic use of backlinks will also minimize bounce back rates which range between 41 and 55% on average<\/u><\/a>, and encourage users to spend more time on your site.<\/p>\n Recommended Read: <\/strong>A Quick 8 Step Backlink Audit Guide<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n Many business owners make the mistake of rushing through link-building activities and generating far too many links without much thought.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just the number of links you have\u00a0but also the quality that impacts your rankings. Many websites are penalized for using low-quality links or releasing far too many links in a matter of weeks, leading to additional scrutiny.<\/p>\n But what does content quality have to do with the quality or quantity of your backlinks?<\/p>\n Simply put, if your website lacks engaging, meaningful, and value-added content or information, you could get all the backlinks in the world and still<\/em>\u00a0not retain an audience.<\/p>\n Visitors are looking to learn more and gain something from your website. So if you\u2019re unable to provide them with that, they will leave your website even if they\u2019ve visited your page from top-notch platforms. You need to work on page copy, layouts, media, products and services, and SEO content like on-site blogs and articles.<\/p>\n All of this ties in with your wider back linking strategy.<\/p>\n You need a clearly thought-out, personalized approach that helps target specific domains, websites, and platforms and brings you closer to the kind of content you wish to generate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n According to sources, blogging impacts the ability to get quality backlinks by 97%<\/span><\/a>, making it one of the most important approaches in your strategy.<\/p>\n That\u2019s precisely what our professional link building services will deliver.
