    It gives the search engines a signal as to what your page is about.

      Exactly!

      Otherwise..Search engines would not know how to rank your website against a million competitors.

      Anchor text is more important for the page that it links to and not so much for the page it is on. For example if I had a guest blog post on a Outdoor Living blog and linked the words "outdoor gas grill" to another site selling gas grills, then Google would give the ecommerce site a very relevant and important back link--in other words big brownie points

    Lol, you guys are answering spam.

    Nobody noticed OPs anchor-text in the sig?

    OP wouldn't have already used anchor-text in their sig. If they didn't already understand the (fake) question.

      Hi yukon,

      Yep, another spambot spamfest thread.

      Seems like all the spambot spammers are gravitating to this forum since they can post spam to their hearts content, while we humans have to read through all the junk to find real threads started by real people. Sad isn't it?

      We should create a game where we score points for each spambot thread we spot.

        Yes, this seo forum gets hit hard most of the time late at night.

        We need Like + Dislike buttons for only the thread OPs post, that way say 10 dislikes will put the thread into a manual forum Mod. review, & we won't have to look at the $hit.

          That's an amazing idea. I can see it coming:

          Step 1: "I will get 11 authentic, verified dislikes to a warrior forum post of your choice to get them out of your hair, for $5".

          Step 2: Write a WSO about "How I made $500 on Fiverr in 2 days and caused havoc on the Warrior Forum, all at the same time!". Only $5 for the first five warriors only.

            Lol, you'll wreck havoc on a spammer with 1 forum post & anchor-text in the Sig. (stop the madness!)?

            Anyone with over 3k forum post (me :p) isn't included in the Like + Dislike.

    It is important because, when linked back to your site, it tells Google that the specific keyword is relevant.
