Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing. Optimizing keyword anchors effectively is crucial for maintaining a natural flow in your content while also enhancing your SEO. Here are some strategies to help you optimize internal anchor text using Rank Math Free:
-
Use Variations: Instead of consistently using the same anchor text, try to use variations of your target keywords. For example, instead of always using "ghostwriting agency," you could use "professional ghostwriting services," "expert ghostwriters," or simply "ghostwriting help." This helps avoid over-optimization and keeps your content engaging.
-
Contextual Relevance: Ensure that the anchor text is contextually relevant to the content it links to. This not only helps with SEO but also improves user experience as readers will find the links more useful.
-
Limit Frequency: There’s no strict rule on frequency, but a good practice is to keep your keyword-rich anchors to about 1-2% of your total content. This means if you have a 1000-word article, you might use your target anchor text 10-20 times, but spread out and varied.
-
Natural Language: Always prioritize natural language over keyword stuffing. If it feels forced or disrupts the flow of your writing, it’s better to rephrase or choose a different anchor text.
-
Monitor Performance: Use Rank Math’s analytics features to monitor how well your pages are performing with the current anchor text strategy. Adjust based on what works best for your audience and search engines.
-
Internal Linking Strategy: Make sure to link to relevant pages within your site that provide additional value to the reader. This not only helps with SEO but also keeps users engaged longer on your site.
