Title: Anchor Texts
Post by: Walalayo on 11-01-2011, 02:28:50
I've always had different variences of my anchor text - thinking if I don't do that, I may run into trouble other wise.

I read today about a backlinking company that said that they do not vary their anchor text and their advice is not to do it - or it may hurt you.

So which is true? Do I switch up a little on my anchor texts or keep it the same?

See... Anchor text placement will not hurt your ranking. If you are using same anchor text, you may get less benefit from it but that won't hurt you in any case.

Hi.. :D

As per my suggestion regarding Anchor text is , the most important off page factor to securing high rankings in Google is appropriate anchor text pointing to the specific page of your website that has been optimized to target that term for that keyword phrase. so you have to follow some points before placing  an anchor text on your web site.

Anchor text can be used in:

    * Links on your home or main page – important spot
    * External links – links from other sites
    * Internal links – links on your pages
    * Navigation maps


You need not worry if you are using the same anchor text.

Thanks !-!

Anchor text usage should reflect the content (ideally the main SERP) the link is linking to and ideally help the page it is linked from as well (the latter isn't always possible). This means if you can link highly related pages (related SERPs) together they will tend to do much better in their respective SERPs.

Anchor text can be helpful for you to get the effective result and in on page techniques anchor text are used generally. But make use of anchor text carefully with less formatting and not show the word much highlighted. As it can be hurtful to your site.

Whenever people try to search for a information, they type a keyword or a keyword phrase in the search engine, if you have a keyword phrase with that keyword then search engine pick that keyword and having the anchor tag. So or site may be get the hits from that anchor tag.
