Types of Anchor Text...

We know that have different types of ANCHOR TEXT...

But, is there any type that crawler (search engine) gives priority ????

If so, what is it type ????



Thankz...

Anchor text is the clickable text contained before the </a> tag. It a bad use of the word becuase it can be confused with Anchor links!


You may also use ALT text for image links but its not called Anchor text.

That is a good question rodrigo.

I think there are differences. If you imagine that you were a search engine engineer trying to lessen the influences of SEO, you might realize that many advertising links are single links, off by themselves, often separated with "|"'s, just like on the bottom of this page, and that links embedded within content are less likely to be attempts to manipulate rankings. So you can easily see that a sophisticated engine could classify floating links differently than in-content links. Just something to consider...

Indeed for the SE's but as ever there are ways around this with clever CSS/JS!

interesting approach Thermit, but...
isn't the use of "|" geting outdated?
For me it appears to be something with less importance that it had before.
Anyway i can't remember any other trick to catch pub links...

Use of "|" may be "old", but there's nothing really about it to get outdated. In the same way that commas don't get outdated.

rodrigo - I have seen a few topics from you now discussing anchor text. Can i make a suggestion?

Do some research on Google beforehand so you know what it is you actually want to ask....
