Introduction to SEO Testing
SEO testing is a crucial part of any website optimization strategy. By regularly testing your site's SEO performance, you can identify issues before they impact your search rankings.
Key Testing Areas
- Technical SEO (crawlability, indexability)
- On-page SEO (titles, descriptions, headings)
- Content quality and relevance
- Link structure and anchor text diversity
Anchor Text Best Practices
One common mistake is over-optimizing anchor text by using the same keyword phrase repeatedly. Search engines may view this as manipulative. Instead:
- Vary your anchor text with synonyms and related phrases
- Use descriptive, contextual anchors
- Avoid generic phrases like "click here"
- Keep anchor text natural and relevant
