Anchor Text Diversity: A Practical Guide

· May 09, 2026 · 1 min read · 220 views

If 80% of your inbound links say buy cheap shoes online, Google notices.

Recommended anchor mix

  • Branded (40-50%) — your site name or URL.
  • Generic (20-30%) — "click here", "this guide".
  • Partial match (15-20%) — "running shoes guide".
  • Exact match (under 10%) — "buy running shoes".

On our platform, we track the anchor distribution per site so you can keep it natural.
