In the 2nd page, we saw how to install WP Simple Anchor Links, in this section I am going to walk you through the process of creating your anchor links. If you don't know what are anchor tags go back to the first page. Or you don't know about the plugin I am using to create them Go back to the second page.

In the below image the Anchor you're seeing is the plugin's Icon (WP Simple Anchor Links)


First, you go to the body of your article where you want to link your keyword. Put your mouses' cursor at the very beginning of the keyword. Just as Shown in the image below. and then click on the Little Anchor Icon I just showed you on the image above.



After that, a box will appear, all you have to do is name your anchor tag. WITHOUT ANY SPACES AND WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL CHARACTERS. Just like Hashtags

Do it exacly as it is shown in the image below. I personally like to write just like the title or cut it a little if your title is too long. For this tutorial I named it Wealthy Affiliate as an example.

Once you have finished doing that, there are some other things to do to make things work properly.

You have to go back to your Summary or keyword in the begining of your article and selectit by highlighting it (The Keyword). Just like when you insert your affiliate links to a keyword, Click on the Insert Link button. Image Bellow.


Here all you have to do once the Insert Link Box is showing is to select your post. The same post, not another page or an other post. In my case, I selected my home page, http://wealthyaffiliatereview.buzybusiness.com/ Where my content is.

Are you done doing this? This is really a step by step tutorial, if you are done with all of this, then let's carry on.

Once you enter just like shown in the image, take off the last slash "/" you will not need it anymore.

After deleting the slash replace it by a hashtag "#" and enter the keyword that you have chosen as an anchor. In this tutorial I have entered (wealthyaffiliate) without spaces and without special characters. Do the same.

The last part of this tutorial will be very important so make sure you attend it. Let's move to the next step.

My only hang up is I'm looking to decrease my plug ins.

You're right, actually me too. I keep it to 50% not too much.
The only plugins I have are, All in one SEO, Spam Shield, W3 super cache, Social Media plugin and Simple Anchor Links.

I know that installing plugins can slow down our websites, but they are pretty good to have as well. We are in a real dilemma lol

To install? or not to install? that is the question.
Thank you for commenting,

All the Best,
Youba

Hi there,
I thank you for your answer, I appreciate it.

It is a pleasure to help Wealthy Affiliate Members, I am not an expert as lots of members, so simplicity is the key.

There are people who don't have time to spend on these small details, so if there is a way to do it fast, it's better.
All the best, and Thank you.

Youba.

Thank you Jason, two days ago I didn't know how to add them without adding a ton of codes to the text editor of WordPress. Now I figured out how easy it can be, so I used them for the first time on my subdomain.

It is sure increases users experience, which is a good thing.

I am pleased you enjoyed my tutorial, this is my first one.
All the Best,
Youba
