Building on ’s question and the points raised by , and , the guidance below focuses on practical, current steps that expand past basics: how to choose different anchor types, where to place them, how to tag paid/UGC links, and a short audit/remediation workflow.

Use a natural mix of anchor types (branded, partial/phrase match, long‑tail/descriptive, generic, naked URL, and image alt text) rather than forcing exact‑match anchors. Variety and context make a backlink profile look organic; excessive identical keyword anchors can be a manipulation signal. Tools like Ahrefs explain anchor classifications and why over‑optimization should be avoided. (ahrefs.com)

Prefer in‑content anchors that read naturally in the surrounding paragraph; these carry more useful context than footer or nav links. For images, ensure meaningful alt text because search engines treat it like anchor text. For paid or user‑generated links, use rel="sponsored" or rel="ugc" (or rel="nofollow" when appropriate) so the link’s nature is clear—Google treats these attributes as hints when evaluating links. (developers.google.com)

Quick examples (HTML):

<a href="/guides/keyword-research" title="Keyword research guide">keyword research guide</a>
<a href="https://partner.example.com" rel="sponsored">Sponsored resource</a>
<a href="/forum/post/123" rel="ugc">community discussion</a>

Audit and fix workflow: export the backlink/anchor report from Google Search Console and a crawler or backlink tool, look for spikes in identical exact‑match anchors, contact sites to request edits or rel tagging, and use the Disavow tool only after documented cleanup attempts. Google’s guidance on link spam, qualifying outbound links, and disavow/remediation remains the definitive reference. (developers.google.com)

Notes: prioritize user clarity over keyword insertion; let anchors describe the destination and fit the sentence naturally.

Using Keyword as a ANCHOR TEXT on Inbound Links will added a value for the webpage.

Do not Overuse your keyword.

Anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink. SEO best practices dictate that anchor text be relevant to the page you're linking to, rather than generic text.

Getting backlinks to your website with relevant anchor text is like giving your website a vote of confidence from the Internet world. When Google’s spiders scan your site, they look for backlinks as a sign that other people trust your website and use it as an authority. A great link is one that uses anchor text that matches or is related to the terms represented on your webpage.
