The algorithm examines a link&#8217;s topic, the content of the web page it is linked from, and the website hosting it. Relevancy signals are not passed by anchor text, but they do pass if the web page or website has the same topic as the link target. Here are some tips to help you build a quality backlink profile.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3996 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-300x144.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-1536x740.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-2048x986.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-1900x915.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-513x247.jpg 513w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-573x276.jpg 573w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-600x289.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Depositphotos_31386099_XL-335x161.jpg 335w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anchor_text\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Anchor text<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you want to get a high-quality backlink, you must know how to use Anchor text. It is the clickable text in a hyperlink, which is blue, underlined, and styled differently than the rest of the text. Using appropriate Anchor text can improve your SEO and ranking potential. Think of it as a democratic election. Every link counts as a vote for your site, but not all of them will be relevant to your target URL.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inbound_vs_outbound_links\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Inbound vs. outbound links<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Inbound vs. outbound links are not synonymous. Both types of links will boost your SEO. However, high-quality inbound links will improve your website&#8217;s authority. Although the search engines prefer quality inbound links, some spammy third-party websites may also leave a bad impression. Here are some of the differences between inbound and outbound links. When comparing inbound and outbound links, it is important to remember that a high-quality inbound link will enhance your website&#8217;s SEO and traffic.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dofollow_vs_no-follow_links\"><\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dofollow vs. no-follow links<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:40,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While nofollow links don&#8217;t pass authority to other websites, they can be beneficial for a website&#8217;s ranking. A well-placed blog comment or relevant forum post can send tons of traffic to your website. This traffic can funnel down to leads and conversions.

You can also look at the Link Changes tab to see if any links have been lost, downlinked, or changed their status.

After leaving a CFO role at a seven\u2011figure nonprofit, I built my first online business and hit #1 in AOL search within weeks\u2014then clients started asking me to replicate those results for them. Since then, I\u2019ve helped businesses turn WordPress sites into high\u2011performing assets through technical SEO, site architecture, speed, and content strategy, and I\u2019ve built and sold a WordPress site after growing it to 1,000+ organic keyword rankings. Today I own or co\u2011own multiple city\u2011based SEO properties that compete at the top in tough U.S. markets, and I now offer AI SEO so brands can show up in Google results and AI\u2011generated answers. To work with me, book a call from the homepage of Omaha SEO (Omaha\u2011SEO.com).","url":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/author\/philbell\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
