What is Anchor Text?

Anchor Text is the clickable text in a hyperlink.

Best practice would state that the anchor text should be reflective of the content it is linking to but in reality a natural link profile wouldn’t look like this in its entirety so having a natural link profile will comprise a mixture of types of anchor text. And there is an excellent blog on the subject here (hint: this is anchor text) from SEM Rush.
