Ove the past year, we’ve seen a strange trend develop in the world of SEO: the rise of the “generic link.”
Generic links are bland phrases that avoid using keywords that search engines use to determine the context of what you are linking to. These include links like:
• “Visit website”
• “Read more”
• “Useful site”
• And, of course, “click here”
Google’s official SEO Starter Guide actually discourages webmasters from using generic links.
