Does Google Consider Duplicated Link Text as Google Bombing?

[Kirpo]

G'day

I’m a member of TheKeywordAcademy.com which is a coaching site.

These guys recommend Unique Article Wizard for article marketing
and in regards to the resource box, they suggest 2 links, one to
the home page and one to different pages on the same site.

Given that I’ll be sending multiple spun articles, they suggest to
vary the link text.

The link text for the ‘other pages’ will vary simply because there
will be as many target URL's as there are pages on the site whereas
the home page URL is static.


My confusion surrounds the home page anchor text & my questions are -

Is it beneficial to use an actual address (wwwDOTmysiteDOTcom) for the link text to the home page.

Does Google view this as Google Bombing?

If not, should I use related (and varied) keywords in the home page link text.


Cheers,
Peter

I'd say try to make half the links the actual address (i.e. wwwDOTyoursiteDOTcom) and make the other half varied anchor text. I like using the actual URL because if someone just copy/pastes your article (which happens all the time), it won't be a dead link. If someone copy/pastes the article, the anchor text links will be dead. Google won't penalize you, even if they do think you're bombing links. Otherwise, we could just post a ton of links to our competition to get them penalized. Hopefully I helped, feel free to pm me if you need clarification.
