    Very vague question. In general, I would almost say anchor text - purely for the fact that this is likely going to be in the content that the viewer is actually wanting to read. Therefore, it appears to come from a trustworthy source as opposed to an interruption to the users experience.

    Think about it this way.

    Scenario 1:
    Your friend is talking and mentions company XYZ with a referral.

    Scenario 2:
    A guy on the street interrupts your conversation with your friend and hands you a flyer for company ABC.

    Which company do you think you are more likely to consider? Generically speaking, XYZ of course!

    Anchor texts..you'll most likely get clicks from people who've read the content and are genuinely interested
