First, because there is no hyperlink in a text-only link, you cannot click to directly reach the page to which the link points. The user experience is obviously inferior to that of a hyperlink or link anchor text.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the user will enter this page by copying and pasting. Is such a link useful to Seo?
What is the role?
Will the spider crawl along?
We do not know, but no one can fully deny the existence of this form of link. Furthermore, the pure text links are everywhere on the Internet. Will the search engine really ignore the existence of such a large number of links?
Therefore, I personally think that the effect of plain text links on website Seo is not as good as that of link anchor text and hyperlink, but it must be helpful. You must have encountered many forums that only allow signature in plain text format before reaching a certain level. Since this text-based link has little effect, can we further optimize it so that it can play a greater role as much as possible?
The answer is yes.
1. Add "" Before the link.
HTTP is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the most widely used network protocol on the Internet. This does not need to be understood, as long as you know that the general website has "" in front of it.
For search engines, adding "" Before URLs in plain text form can be more easily recognized by search engine spider. It is like clearly telling the search engine spider that this section is a URL and a link.
2. The link text format is bold.
The bold text format is prevalent in the SEO industry. Most seoer believes that the keyword can be better recognized by the spider, thus contributing to the ranking of the keyword. I reserve my opinion on whether the keyword can be bold to improve the keyword ranking. However, the bold text will indeed attract the attention of the Spider. Therefore, the URL of the plain text will be roughened to further improve the possibility of being recognized by the spider.
3. Add related keywords before and after the plain text link.
The text content before and after the keyword is already inAlgorithmIt can be used in technology to determine the overall content of the page through the text content twice before and after the keyword, and whether the keyword appears properly
The keyword that appears on both sides of the plain text URL will also reflect the main content that the link points to the page from one aspect, and will also serve as part of the search engine's judgment basis.
The above three tips for optimizing plain text links, but such links that do not play a major role in Seo, as long as a few small details are likely to play a greater role, why not?
