Maximizing Anchor Text in My Website

My site is coming along slowly. That's okay I guess. So far I have around 20 pages built. I just added a new page called Cooking Tips.

I did some research and found that that term has a little demand so I decided to use it. Couldn't find any other term to use that was any better. I like cooking tips and trying to find better ways to do things. I hope my readers will enjoy it and even maybe add some of their own tips.

I was reading the forums at Associate Programs.com and learned a little about anchor texts. Seems I had been using them without any thought. Anchor text is the words you click on when you click a link.

The anchor text should give your reader some idea of what the page you are linking to is about.
Anchor texts are important because they tell the search engines what the page is about and they can help boost your search engine ranking.

So using "click here" as your anchor text probably isn't to your best advantage. After reading this I went back to my site through Site Build It and made a few changes to the link on my cooking tips page.

Heck, I need all the advantages I can get.

Till next time...
