Hey warriors,

I have just created a website in xsitepro and I want to SEO it as quickly as posible. Im going to submitting articles and creating blogs through wordpress ect which will link back to my website.

Im just wondering whats the most effective way to create anchor text to optimise for the keywords that I am tartgeting?

Also if I have 3 pages on my website can I use anchor text on my website for the keywords that I am targeting and what is the most effective way to do this?

Thanks

Laurian

    I think you are asking how to create anchor text? If so, here's how...

    <a href="http://www.yoursitehere.com">Your text or keywords here</a>

    That is it. You can use this on your own site, or on other sites, blogs.

    Let me know if this didn't answer your question.

    Yes, you can use anchor text on your own site linking to your own pages.

    The most effective keyword anchored backlink juice comes from links within relevant content to the keyword, i.e. articles or other blogs. Also the higher the PR the more juice. A really high pr will get you lots of juice regardless of relevancy.

    Nothing complicated, just use the keyword you are targeting in your title tag as anchor text.

    Example:

    * Your page is about: "Ink Jet Printers"

    So the anchor text in your article's resource box should have Ink Jet Printers as keyword.

    <a href="http://www.yoursitehere.com">Ink Jet Printers</a>

    Do this for every single of your webpages with the respective keywords.

    Note: sometimes, you can change the keyword a little bit, and even use your domain name in the anchor to VARY.

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

    All the best,

    Franck

      From my experience the advice from Franck about varying anchor text is important - ie don't use the exact same anchor text for every link.

      Best results I've seen are from a natural linking pattern and it would be natural for the anchor text to vary slightly.

        Two more things to consider.

        1. is the use of the title field ie

        title="The best in Ink Jet Printers"

        2. using target="_blank" - adding this option opens a new tab or new window.

        *Sorry I can't put in any examples as my post count is too low and the system thinks I'm putting in links(well they are links!)*

        I'd welcome some discussion on item 2 as I know there are "pros and cons" for it's use.
        Personally, for any links accessing another website - I use the target="_blank" so my visitor still has my site in front of them but I don't use it for any internal pages. Your navigation should provide access to all your pages.

        But for SEO I'd definitely add the title and be creative in using relevant keywords in it.

        Point 2 is just something extra! I'm generous like that.

        There's more but that's for another post.

        Cheers

      As dotslash already mentioned, don't overdo it with the exactly same link text. Google WILL punish your site for that and it is pretty hard to recover from this filter.

      The best way is to do 30-40% of your links with your targeted keywords and slightly vary it for other links. For example, if you are targeting "Cool widgets":

      - do 30-40% links with that anchor text - "Cool widgets". Surround it with DIFFERENT but RELEVANT descriptions (surrounding text). If you can place links in the middle of the article - even better

      - vary other links like this: "Very cool widgets", "Cool widgets online", "Free Cool widgets online", "Those widgets are cool".

      - do 5-10% of links WITHOUT your keywords or just with one of them. Use keywords that are related to your niche and possibly are aso included on the page you link to

      I think you've got the idea. When "normal" people write about your website (and that's what Google wants - natural linking), they use similar wording but each of them link up different words.

    anchor texts should vary. Dont use the same anchor text over and over...google might penalize this.

    I wish the OP had responded since they posted this because I think they're talking about strategy. If so the first step should always be keyword research.
