Identical anchor text for different pages

The anchor texts in this list are used for several different link targets on your website.

Why you should not use identical achor texts for different pages (link targets):

The purpose of anchor texts is to tell visitors and search engines what the linked page is all about. Therefore, they should be informative and include keywords that are relevant to the linked page.

If the same anchor texts are used for different link targets, there will be an overlap, as this signals to search engines that several pages are about the same topic. This can lead to "keyword cannibalization". You are also missing out on the opportunity to optimize the pages for more specific keywords by using unique anchor texts.

In general, you should also avoid generic anchor texts such as "show more" or "read more", as these also don't make use of the optimization opportunities that anchor texts offer.

You can find more information about optimizing anchor texts in our wiki and in our internal linking guide.

How to fix the problems in this list:

In the column "URLs linked with this anchor text", you will find all URLs that are linked with a specific (identical) anchor text. Think about which unique anchor texts you could use instead to link to these pages.
