How to insert link with #

EwenementEwenement World
in Need Help
Hello,

I want to create a backliks for links with specyfy anchors. Basycally, we can use format:

And it works.

But when in our link1 or link2 is character # this format does not work.

Example:
I have link http://link1#154 and keyword "home". When I use format:

gsa is building links for http://link1 and anchor 154 or home.

Do you know how to fix this situation?

    im sorry but this is not working. A "jump index" on the url and later the link is only working if you insert this directly into the article e.g.
    <a href="%url%#id">%anchor_text%</a>

    Hello,

    Thank you very much for your answer, but I an not talking about article. I wont to get a links from forum profiles, so i have to fill this field:



    I wont to get link:
    http://link1.com/site1#p123 with anchor "anchor1"

    But right now I get link:
    http://link1.com/site1 with anchrs: "p123" or "anchor1"

    So it seems that there is no option to get a backlinks for links with character #.

    What happens if you URL-encode the first # character?
  • EwenementEwenement World
    I do not understand you question.

    Please look at my example. Right now I will get broken link: http://link1.com/site1
    with anchors: "p123" or "anchor1"

    What if you try this:
    yoursite%23YourSiteAnchor#TheGSAanchor or to use your example:
    http://link1.com/site1 %23 p123#anchor1 (but without the spaces in the middle)

    Gsa is submiting links with proper anchor, but when I open the forum profile and click on my link it appers that it is broken and do not work propertly.

    Maybe you don't have that anchor on the page? Would you mind giving us your forum post URL and I'll have a look?

    When I open url with # in my browse I am moved to specyfic topic on site. When I change # to %23 I can open site but I am not moved to specyfic topic.

    This is a example:

    http://www.popolsku.fr.pl/forum/index.php?topic=255725.msg409100#msg409100 - you are able to open the site but you will not moved to specyfic topic.

    Ok I see.
    What I thought that would achieve is that the "#" character would be understood as part of the url and url-decoded by SER, as it is in this forum -- just look at the two links in your post, they now both have the "#" character.
    But unfortunately, the %23 code seems to be handed through to the user's browser, and it doesn't see it as the special character it is anymore....
    Sorry.

    @Sven is there an escape character for this string he could use to escape his "#"?

    Thank you very @wolfvanween for your time.

    The best option would be to find another character to split url and keyword.

    sorry but that would break too many things. I really can't change that and for SEO it should be irrelevant anyway if you have that "jump-id" on the URL or not.
