      Will there be any additional SEO value if we add link title in addition to anchor text.?

      Can you compare link title with image title?

      Thanks.

        You mean image alt text?

        The title field does not pass relevancy as the link text or alt text does. But that does not mena it does not have any value.

        i like to add it, as it MAY work as page relevacy. SE like to know that your link came from a relevant page, the title tag MAY be inlcluded in that. What I am saying is that you will not rank for the title text like you can for the link text. But it MAY add value to the link by making the linking page more relevant.

        Since it is nice to have for the user, it is woth doing just in case.

          No, you will not gain additional SEO value in your links if you include the link title in conjunction with your anchor text.  All it does is increase the relevancy on your page.

          Link title and image title work in similar ways but unfortunately do not pass any extra SEO benefit.  You will know when a website employs link/image titles by hovering over the image or link - words will display near your cursor.

          And although this wasn't part of your question, image ALT text (which is different from image title text) will help your SEO efforts if you are trying to optimize for image search as it is one of the major ranking factors.

            Thanks for your time.

            I meant title for hyperlinks:

              Yes but when you said "Can you compare link title with image title?"

              Did you mean compare with image ttitle or image alt text.

              either way answer above covers it I think
