How Anchor Text Increases Traffic On Your Website
By Alexander Gordon

Search engines rely on links to ascertain both the theme of a given web site and its popularity. A wisely chosen phrase as anchor text that many people search for will get more hits than just a domain name. Anchor text is simply the word or phrase that forms the clickable part of a link. It plays a major role in search engine ranking of your website. Build your site with lots of links pointing to it, with each one having the chosen phrase as the clickable part of the link (anchor text). This will ensure more traffic to your site.

How to Improve Search Engine Rankings of Your Site:
1. Research Keywords: It is very important to have a keyword or phrase related to your site’s theme. Type a suitable keyword and go to wordtracker.com, which is a catalog search activity at major search engines. They show the number of times that an entry is being searched at major search engines. This service also gives you a list of related terms. Wordtracker gives you more ideas to look for other important search words appropriate to your site for attractive visibility.
2. Pick Keywords and Get Some Links: Compile a list of often-searched names related to your site’s theme. Pick the phrases with several thousand searches and use in the anchor text of the inbound links that you build for your site.
3. Link Building: Rotate a few chosen phrases and start building your link sites. Build reciprocal links, one-way links from directories and article distribution by using the particular phrase as clickable part of the link or anchor text.

Using Anchor Text and Incoming Links:

• Anchor text phrase pointing back to your website is one way to increase your position on search engine. Submitting links by rotating your anchor text to directories allows you to build a vast link structure.
• Write a good, useful and an interesting article with footer at the bottom with some links back to your site and submit it to an article submitter for hundreds of directories at once. This exposure will boost your site’s search engine position.
• Exchange links with other webmasters as some link exchanges provide automated service for trading links, but avoid spam.
• Joining forums and adding a link to your site with relevant anchor text in your signature will get you many permanent links on hundreds of pages of that particular forum.
• Pay to get linked by an authority site for deeper indexing. High page rank sites get more spiders to your site.
• Code an application or service for use by people on their site to get numerous backlinks to your site.

How to Get Free Traffic to Your Site:

• Create compelling and useful anchor text to your signature file to post on a popular forum.
• Based on the subject of your site create free report, ebook or ezine with your link site embedded in it for free distribution on other sites.
• Write informative articles with rich anchor text link and offer free to potential readers.

Promote your website effectively for maximum traffic with minimum expenditure and innovative use of anchor text.
