To fully understand SEO one has to answer the following questions:

What is SEO?

SEO is the techniques that ensure enhanced website rankings in organic search engines search results

Why must I do SEO?

Having a website alone is not enough. If you are not on the first page results of search engines you know now why you need SEO for your website!

Can anyone do SEO?

Yes, anyone can do it. All it requires are knowledge, time and an understanding of how search engine works. With that being said bear in mind that this is not a one time job. You have to work continuously on it to better your site.

SEO is basically about two things: links and content. If you can get a lot of both, then you’re all set.

Unique, quality content combined with relevant quality links will definitely have a positive impact on your ranking. I’m currently busy building links. As in all things one can try to do all things simultaneously but I prefer to focus on one thing, get it right, then go to the next and at the end you have a workable strategy unique to yourself.

So I’m concentrating here on anchor text. Where ever I turn, the term, “anchor text” is popping up. Anchor text is the visible text in a hyperlink. It is the text that people uses to link to you, and usually gives the user relevant information about the content of the link’s destination.

Why is it called anchor text?
It anchors your site’s meaning and search query relevance by securing links in quality locations. If you want to achieve top positions for a specific keyword, your anchor text, next to the Title Tag, is one of the most important factors of Search Engine Optimization.

anchorAnchor text is one of the most important factors that Search Engines evaluate when ranking Websites for specific keywords. The reason behind this is that a link to your site is considered as “a vote of trust” from that other site linking to your site, and so the better reputation the site linking to your site has, the more valuable is the back link.

How do I use Anchor Text to benefit my SEO?
It is important to make the most out of your link by choosing the right anchor text. If you are requesting links from others, have the code for your link all ready to go, easy for them to insert into their webpage. Anchor text gives Google additional information about your site, so one must keep it descriptive and useful.

Make sure the links to your website is with the keyword (key phrase) that you are trying to optimize for, and that the back linking website has the same theme than yours.

The reason we are on the web is to conduct a business. As in all businesses, there are rules and guidelines to follow to be successful. If you want to be on the first page of the search engines, you have to read and do that it is going to take me to get there.

Why? To be on the first page means lots of organic visitors, and visitors are what all websites are craving for!
