Question: I always forget the HTML Syntax for anchor text in inbound links. Can you tell me what it is again?

It is important to remember as well since inbound links, many created using HTML anchor text, are the foundation of building your presence on the web. Of course, if you use our easy SEO software, you’ll never need to remember the HTML anchor text syntax again as we automatically provide it to you as you see in the screenshot below:

And, you may want to know a couple of extra tidbits. If you want a link to be “nofollow” or to open in another window, add following to your syntax:

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/The.SEO.System">The SEO System on Facebook</a>
