Is there any benefit in Anchor Links with unrelated keywords

Apollo-Articles · 03-17-2011, 09:08 AM

Hi Everyone,

I posted this in the main forum, but it got deleted so I presume the SEO threads gotta stay in the SEO section!

Anyway! Is there any benefit in terms of link juice when putting an unrelated keyword as my inanchor text.

Such as the following:

HTML Code:

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

Please remember I can't put related keywords in the anchor text, so the question again:

Will I get any link juice to my link, when its "INAnchor" and the keyword is unrelated?

Many thanks!

Sam

Technically yes, as every link helps, though you don't want to confuse the SE's by using many different unrelated anchor texts. I'm of the mind that the days of varying anchor text are gone - I use my targeted keyword about 99% of the time with my anchored links; but I know you said you can't use your keyword. Personally, I would not want very many links out there with unrelated keywords as anchor text.

Well, more links help. The bigger factor will be the PR & reputation of the site it is from. If you put that link on Adobe's home page it would be huge.

What I would avoid is lots of unrelated links, as it may look spammy with thousands of unrelated links coming in. It may also dilute how Google interprets your page (with so many off topic things linking to you).

But if you have a few good PR sites you need to do this from, it probably won't hurt. It will help less than good anchor text woudl help.

actually , all links have a good quality , related anchor will boost our site fastly but we have to know that to get great site in search engine we have to look like natural . that why we need unrelated anchor link

Anchor text helps, sure. But a link is a link. If you can get a link without anchor text it's definitely better than nothing.

Absolutely, especially on high PR blog posts where you want a comment. Even if you write a good comment, if your name is "How do I cleanse my colon" instead of "Michael", you are a lot less likely to have the comment approved. All of my high PR blog post comments are my name and my sites do just fine.

I've done this more than once.

Notice the anchor-text.

Unrelated anchor texts is a must for an overall search engine optimization strategy.

In theory, if your linkbuilding was 100% natural, you would have lots of webmasters/people who don't know anything about your target keywords linking to your site with random stuff like "for more info, click here, etc. etc".
