What’s up, everyone! We are going to tell you how to change the default starting position of anchors in WordPress.
Introduction
What is anchor first of all? An anchor is just a word or phrase that is simply referenced. It contains keywords that lead to a specific page on a website. As you know, keywords always should be relevant to a chosen topic.
What kinds of anchors in WordPress we can name? Basically, an exact classification of anchors doesn’t exist. Generally, anchors should be adjusted to SEO standards. In a few words, they are supposed to be brief, up-to-date, and, as we’ve already mentioned, relevant to a current topic.
Where are anchor links used? Anchor links can be published not all over the Web. Site owners can apply anchor links to connect website pages. This process is called “linking.” You can also publish hyperlinks to some third-party resources, like:
- Directories of sites. One of the best-known ways of website promotion is adding a website to thematic directories. Installed hyperlinks in directories affect not only the number of visitors but also allow you to get good external links to your site.
- In the comments. Many blogs provide adding linkings in the comments with text that will serve as an anchor.
- Link exchange. Also one of the ancient ways to extract external links for your site. Link exchange is now less and less used. When exchanging links with other webmasters, you will receive from him a link and an anchor, which must be placed on the site. In return, the webmaster will post your link with the anchor on his website. There is lots of websites that prevent anchor links adding.
