Anchor text is what we call text links. You should always try and have all text links as descriptive keywords. When a spider follows the link to your page it should have an understanding of the content. Anchor text is a great way of improving your rankings on competitive keywords.

The anchor text is a hyperlinked words, the words when you click on the link. It gives your visitors useful information about the content of the page you're linking to. It also indicates search engines, what is the page about as well as it helps to gain rankings in search engines, especially in Google.

It is also good to use a mix of keywords and use variations in anchor text. Stuffing anchor text with repetitive references of the same keyword can be seen as spam by search engines and avoided as far as possible. It is best to be safe as there is a thin line between genuine optimisation and spam.

Anchor text for inbound links is one of the most important factors in SEO, its enhances the relevance of the targeted Page. It's important to make the most out of your link by choosing the right anchor text, just having links is not the only factor to consider, What the link text says is very important, so therefore, the link text is an important indicator that tells the search engines what your page is about.

It should still be all very realistic though ... If every link you have all has the same anchor text, it's going to look like you bought the links, and not like they're natural. You don't need links ... you need natural links.
