  • yes, its very important as far as far as SEO is concerned. It helps in SERPS
  • I suggest you not only use the keyword in your url as anchor text, but as variants of it to ensure you rank well for a variety of terms. This will also help your backlinks look more natural

    • Yeah, that's the point. Using the same anchor text will look spammy, so these need to be diversified as much as possible.

      In general, anchor text is among the key factors in terms of relevancy, I mean it's a must to rank high for particular search queries.

  • Heck yes it matters, at least I hope it does
  • If possible, when you write your anchor text, include title tag, there you can add a little longer description of your anchor. This title will appear when you put cursor over the link.
