How To Create An Anchor Text Signature Link And Why!
Think of the internet as a vast ocean, sprinkled with millions of little islands. Now your island may be the most beautiful, the most exciting, and the most valuable island in the world. But if there are no shipping lanes to your island, you will never have a visitor. Without these pathways, no matter how valuable your island is, you will remain isolated. A backlink is a shipping lane between other islands and yours. And a very easy backlink is the anchor text signature link. Creating an anchor text signature is "plug and chug." You use the same format each time, plugging in your specific URLs (web page addresses) and chosen anchor text words, which must be keywords. We will not go into keywords yet, but quickly, these are the words people type into Google to find what they are looking for. So they must describe what your page is about so people can find you. How to find those keywords is a vast subject, and will be covered in later articles. There is the basic format for an anchor text link. This is HTML code - the coded text written to tell your browser how to display all those beautiful web pages. IT IS ESSENTIAL!!! that it be written exactly as you see it when you get instruction. Even an extra space, or a comma instead of a period will "break the code." That's what I mean by plug and chug. As far as the code goes, there are no decisions to make or any leeway at all for a beginner. After showing you the code, I will make suggestions for how and when to use it. For example I would use an anchor text code to link to my site, using the keywords, Build My Web Business. And that's it! Code is full of symbols. Every one is essential and any change will cause it to fail. Note the keyword text is enclosed in the greater than and less than symbols. This tells a browser to display only those keywords, as a link, but hidden inside those keywords is the link to the page I wrote into the code. It will display on the webpage like this: Build My Web Business - underlined and in a color When you write your own, copy an example and very carefully paste the URL you want to link to, within the quotation marks, and be sure you end your URL with /. Then BETWEEN THE GREATER THAN AND LESS THAN SYMBOLS, type the words you want your reader to see. Why and How to Use An Anchor Text Signature Link. I strongly urge you to develop the habit of posting helpful and relevant comments on websites, blogs and forums related to your site's subject. This is honest, "white hat" backlinking! Many will allow you to add a signature with an anchor text link included. Get to know your Notepad, or some program where you can write .txt files. Write up several anchor text signature links and save them. Then when you sign your name you can copy from your signature file, and paste it after your signature. I apologize but I cannot show the code here because article directories do not allow code in an article. But you can see it exactly at my website linked below. Now when I comment and leave the anchor link, I have a nice "backlink" to my website. Google will read this as a shipping lane, knows you are there, what your content is about, and maps a connection between the sites. Hope this clears up any confusion about how to create an anchor text signature link. Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com I'm Allen Cox. Do you need help to Build A Web Business?
