What is the best practice for anchor text?

[hajskyer]

I have read that it is better to use words that are closely related to your theme when creating anchor text for back links so as not to look too spammy by search engines.

I would like to know whether this is true and if it is true, if these other words can only be other keywords that you might be targeting on the same page or LSI words that have been deemed relevant to your theme by search engines.

thanks

Best is have some variation of keywords for anchor text but has the same logical meaning, don't make it stuffed or spammy. The best practice too is to put your link on relevant and good sites only instead on using crappy, unrelated posts just to get backlinks.

Start with your own on-site anchor text first. By that I mean the anchor text YOU use to link to your own pages from your own pages. This is especially true for sites that are already ranking fairly well.

Anchor text is not taken as spam, you can use it for Seo marketing.Getting inbound links to your site from other sites is very important for your ranking in search engines, but there is a huge difference, this is anchor text.
