Title: What is link anchor text?
Post by: helpout on January 28, 2012, 03:19:23 AM
Hi folks,
I've recently began reading a couple of webmaster forums and I keep seeing people refer to "link anchor text".
Can you tell me what it is so I won't feel like I'm in the dark?
Any help would be appreciated.

The anchor text, link label or link text is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. The words contained in the anchor text can determine the ranking that the page will receive by search engines. Since 1998, some web browsers have added the ability to show a tooltip for a hyperlink before it is selected.

   hi guys..
     
      Anchor text is that part people click to get where the link goes. It is one more way that people and spiders know why you made the link,  the relevance between your post and where you are sending them. Link anchor text is another way to reach out with respect to bloggers who offer information we value.

Thanks everyone for clarifying, I was a bit fuzzy on it too. From what I've gathered now though it's the text that would "anchor" a link down, without having to include the full web address. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
