Anchor text that still makes sense

Anchor text is the words in a link. On your own site, say what the next page is. Off-site, you do not control it — and you should not try to.

On-site

Write “web design in Sevenoaks” rather than “click here”. Screen readers and Google both prefer that.

Off-site

A local paper calling you “the Borough Green firm” is fine. A hundred exact-match anchors from irrelevant blogs is a pattern Google has seen for 15 years.

FAQs

Exact match still work?

A little, in natural links. A lot, in a network, is a risk.

Should every sidebar say the keyword?

No. That looks like 2011.
