Yes  it is mainly to anchor your keywords  in particular the location of your page  so whenever URL loads the page with particular anchor name  then it will be pointed to that particular location   For example  www something com some page  computer if it is very lengthy page and you want to show exactly computer then you can anchor    lt p gt  adfadsf  lt  p gt   lt p gt  adfadsf  lt  p gt   lt p gt  adfadsf  lt  p gt   lt a name  computer  gt  lt  a gt  lt p gt  Computer topics  lt  p gt   lt p gt  adfadsf  lt  p gt    Now the page will scroll and bring computer-related topics to the top

Originally it was used as an anchor to jump to an element with the same name id   However  nowadays it s usually used with AJAX-based pages since changing the hash can be detected using JavaScript and allows you to use the back forward button without actually triggering a full page reload
