Frequently Asked Questions

What is anchor text in SEO?

Anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink. Google uses it to understand what the linked page is about. A healthy anchor text profile is diverse, with a mix of branded, exact-match, partial-match, and generic anchors.

What is a natural anchor text distribution?

Roughly: 40-50% branded anchors, 20-30% naked URLs, 10-15% generic (click here, learn more), 5-10% partial match keywords, 1-5% exact match keywords. Excessive exact-match anchor text is a common penalty trigger.

Can anchor text over-optimization hurt rankings?

Yes. Google's Penguin algorithm specifically targets manipulative anchor text patterns. Too many exact-match anchors signal unnatural link building and can result in ranking drops or manual penalties across your entire site.
