How to You Vary Your Anchor Text?

[momo3]

I am trying to vary my anchor text as much as possible.

I am wondering your strategies.

Mine involve adding the raw domain for abotu 60%.

So if my site is dogfood.com, I'd have

<a href="http://www.dogfood.com">dogfood.com</a>.

Sometimes I also just do the raw domain with NO hyperlinking.

..

As far as keywords, sometimes I add an adjective in front of them, such as

great dog food
good dog food

etc. etc.

Is this wise?

What are you guys doing?

Yes, I vary my anchor text with the keywords I'm targeting and want to rank for. I don't go by any formula or percentage. Whatever makes sense when I'm adding links to an article or blog comment, etc.

I guess I could also use a keyword tool to find all the searches which contain dog food.. and then spin those as my anchor text

Yes just mix it up a bit. Google likes variety so that is looks natural.

I do this:

70% main keywords
20% secondary keywords (split the 20% up evenly among your additional 2 or 3 keywords)
5% your url
5% "click here"

hope that helps!

But do you ever sprinkle adjectives and stuff around your main keywords to make it look more natural?
