A short, practical summary that builds on points from and : treat comment-name links as branding or profile links, not a place to stuff exact-match keywords. Platforms and search engines usually mark comment links as user-generated or nofollow/ugc, so they rarely act as reliable editorial votes — focus comments on adding value and referral traffic rather than ranking signals. (wordpress.org)

If you run the site that’s receiving comments, use the modern rel attributes: mark genuine user-posted links as rel="ugc" and mark paid placements as rel="sponsored" (or nofollow if you prefer). Google now treats these attributes as hints (not absolute directives), so transparent tagging plus moderation is the correct approach. (developers.google.com)

For people leaving comments: use your real name or brand as the anchor (or a naked URL), keep the comment substantive, and avoid using keyword-rich anchors in the name/website fields — that was recommended by Google staff and prevents your links from looking like link-scheme attempts. If your backlink profile is dominated by comment links with identical commercial anchors, that pattern can be a spam signal under Google’s guidelines. (searchengineland.com)

Quick checks and a safe example you can copy: inspect the page (right click > Inspect or view-source) and look at the comment link’s rel value; if you moderate comments, add rel="ugc nofollow" by default and require meaningful content before approving. Example anchor tag:

<a href="https://example.com" rel="ugc nofollow">Your Name</a>

Moderate for quality, avoid mass-commenting or automated submission, and treat comments as relationship/traffic builders rather than a primary SEO tactic. (developers.google.com)

Sorry, but that makes no sense at all - to me at least. Did you have a question to ask, a problem that needs solving?

Are you asking what the recommended anchor text should be? I would say something that appears natural and not keyword stuffed.

Anchor text is provided on blog comments. When you do any blog comment and write your name & website. Then the name is anchor text with website.

You'd think a digital marketing agency would know this stuff already, but hey ho I guess there are true digital marketing agencies and spamming chancers eh?

commented: I know that too many of those companies spam in some attempt to do SEO. They earn a bad name which may not be written. +0

If it is a question then answer would be: Anchor text are those which we use to show as text while feeding URL behind it. for example if you domain is abc.com and you want to get a backlink from xyz.com so you wont post your entire URL. You would use a text and put your URL behind the text. That display text would be the anchor text for URL.

However, if this is just a spam then you would receive another negative vote for spamming.

Anchor Text defines the beginning and ending of the hypertest link, In seo this tag is used to determine the destination URL of the particular subject.

Anchor text is the visible, clickable text of a link. It usually appears in a different color than the surrounding text and is often underlined.
