Solution

Descriptive anchor text helps users and search engines understand link destinations. Avoid generic text like ‘click here’ or ‘read more’. Use natural language that describes the target page. For accessibility, anchor text should make sense out of context. Avoid overly long anchor text or keyword stuffing.
