Anchor text helps search engine crawlers understand what your site is about and it also signals to them how other websites understand your site as well.

Knowing the various types of anchor text will help you create a well-rounded arsenal to use in your content and on your website.

While doing my research I came across this https://neilpatel.com/blog/anchor-text/ article which  I found very helpful.

Means your anchor text should consist of words and phrases that closely match the topic of your embedded link.

Harnessing anchor text means crafting user-friendly navigation with strategic internal linking that enhances crawlability. Use descriptive, natural anchors like "learn more about SEO strategies" instead of generic "click here," distributing link juice across pages.

Integrate anchor text optimization into wireframes, balancing keyword stuffing risks with semantic relevance. Track performance via tools like Ahrefs for backlink analysis, aiming for a diverse anchor profile to improve user experience and E-A-T scores.

To benefit from it, avoid generic phrases like "click here" and instead use descriptive, relevant keywords that accurately describe the destination URL.

Anchor text still matters, but you have to use it smartly.

The main benefit comes from being clear and natural. When you link to a page, the anchor text should describe what that page is about. This helps search engines understand the topic better.

A few simple tips:

  • Use descriptive words instead of "click here".
  • Keep it natural in the sentence.
  • Don't overuse exact match keywords.
  • Mix it up - branded, partial match, and generic anchors.

If every link uses the same keyword, it can look forced and risky. A natural mix works best.

So basically, focus on relevance and variety. That's where the real benefit is.
