Anchor Text is the visible text you see which links to another page or website, e.g.

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">BBC</a>

The text BBC is the anchor text which shows on the website page.

Alt tags are used for images e.g.

<img src="XXXXX" alt="This is a picture of the BBC" />

Alt tags don't show on the screen but are used by screen readers and search engines.

Title tags are used to bring up the title text when you hover over a link, e.g.

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk" title="Click here to view the BBC website">BBC</a>

You can combine them if the link is a graphic e.g.

<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk" title="Click here to view the BBC website"><img src="XXXXX" alt="This is a picture of the BBC" /></a>
