Hi Folks,

Within Penguin 3.0 also anchor variation has bigger impact than before.

What are the best ratios for Anchor Variation. Which tools gives best results for this.

For ex: ahrefs gives both anchor phrases and terms as well. But ratio differs with anchor and domain.

Also majestic free shows anchor text,but not ratio.

"
- main keyword (5%)
- secondary keyword (5%)
- third keyword (5%)
- brands (25%)
- related keywords (20%)
- plain URL (20%)
- generic anchors (20%)"

what are your thoughts on this?

    Anchor variation has very low importance, instead of thinking of too much anchor variation, think of variation of quality and relevancy of sites you link to....

    For example, your main source of building links using forums and blogs, you must be looking for ways of posting comments to get links.....

    Search all types of forums, blogs, QA sites, or other types of sites that come up in Google with the related search for your link building, try putting your website URL, (clickable or non-clickable), dofollow or nofollow, just the url, or wrapping with an anchor text, control frequency, show progressiveness

    Don't aim for any particular percentage for any type of anchor text in your link profile. Just make sure you use brand and generic anchor text most of the time and your link profile will look natural.

        The majority of your anchor text should be your brand name and variations of your brand name, but honestly, anchor text variation shouldn't be on your mind. And it definitely shouldn't be "certain percentages".

        The correct anchor text is whatever is most natural. Here's an example of a natural looking anchor text profile: (Zapier.com)

          Has nothing to do with anchor text. It's about the type of link.

          Hiding under a rock is still being under a rock.

          Stop getting under a rock.

          Penguin has zip to do with anchor text. When you start out
          with a falsehood, it makes the whole post crazy.

          What's funny, is that the only thing google ever said about
          anchor text, was how they detect spam in forum sig links.

          Overly-optimized-silly-superlative-anchor text in sig links.

          But nobody ever talks about that here....I wonder why?

          If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    There's no percentage, just guys making up random numbers.

    The above percentages looks good as long as your links are natural, decent and coming from quality sources.

    Anchor variation can be tricky and it really depends where your building links from.

    Many people have their own PBN's in motion and when I'm building links from them. I link out every 3rd article to my "targeted" website and use EXACT match only 25% of the time. However, I've also used article directories focusing on only the best high authority websites.

    Google since it's updates is focusing more on user experience and following the user search pattern. Do you think Google want's 90% of their search results showing up an EXACT keyword like "low interest credit cards", the answer is NO!

    What I would do is mix it up naturally and you can still perform keyword research finding close variation that can provide traffic and are low competition. Gather 5 keyword variation from your main keyword and research them. Than each time you write content use them as linking anchor text. Make it naturally and remember depending on where your linking from, you might want to link every 2-3 article and NOT every article.
