The AA is a pretty reputable company in the UK and is an excellent choice if you are looking for some car insurance.
It might surprise you to see that TheAA.com doesn’t rank on the first page when you search for “car insurance” on Google, in fact they are stuck on page 3.
One of the reasons behind this is that they don’t understand the benefits of anchor text, lets look at their linking conditions:

- must be in one or more of the following text link formats: ‘the AA’, ‘AA’, ‘The Automobile Association’ or ‘www.theAA.com’;

- may direct traffic to any page on our site.
