Avoid Using Anchor Text Here
in Link Creation - There are some anchor text that should be avoided when
creating link links in the article. Even the anchor text was marked by the
Lighthouse tool as an error that must be corrected.
Because of the importance of
making the correct anchor text for a link, Lighthouse tool to mark some anchor
text as an error that must be corrected. At present there are only a few words
and in several languages, but the possibility will continue to be increased
according to languages in the world.
The marked anchor text
includes:
√ click
here
√ click this
√ go
√ here
√ this
√ start
√ right here
√ more
√ learn more
And of course for writing
Indonesian articles you should avoid using anchor text that has similarities
with the anchor text and the like.
Anchor text or link text is
text that is inside a link that is useful to tell users and search engines like
Google something about the linked page.
There are 2 types of links
made, namely internal links that point to other pages on your site and / or
external links that point to content on other sites.
In this case there are still
many bloggers who are mistaken in making internal links. There are still many
who make internal links by using the URL of the page itself with keywords as
anchor text and repeated. Though you should use the URL from other pages that
relate to the content created.
Back to anchor text, in this
case the better the anchor text is, the easier it is for users and for Google
to navigate and to understand what pages you are linking to.
For example, avoid creating
links like the following:
<p>Untuk melihat perlengkapan youtube saya, silahkan <a href="#">click here</a>.</p><p>Berikut adalah <a href="#" title="perlengkapan youtube">perlengkapan youtube</a> yang saya gunakan.</p>
And don't forget to also use
the title tag so that it is more easily understood by search engines like
Google.
And as I have discussed in
the previous post, if the anchor text is replaced by an image or icon then you
should add the aria-label .
So in general, the text in a
link must clearly show users what type of content they will get if they click
on the link.
And make sure the link is
different from plain text, make it easy for users to distinguish between plain
text and link text. Your content becomes less useful if a user skips a link or
doesn't recognize a link or might click it accidentally because the link is
obscured by plain text.
And last but not least, use
the rel=noopener tag for external links so that the links don't hamper our blog's
performance.
