Two Link Building Mistakes Can Destroy Your SEO Campaign You Never Thought About

I agree with both the points.

If you want to rank any of your blog post then you must feed links to that post rather than keep putting endless efforts to build links for the main URL.

Using LSI keywords in the blog posts in another thing which I would love to recommend here. If you want to rank for any keyword, just go to GKP and see how many related keywords are there.

Just study those keywords very carefully and use them in your target landing page.

Both of these things are false.

First, there are plenty of websites where nearly 100% of their links are pointed at a homepage ranking just fine, especially in the case of local business websites. There is nothing "unnatural" about that. Why in the hell would someone link to an internal page on the site of a local dentist? Everyone links to the home page.

I rank webpages all the time by building the vast majority of links to the homepage and making sure the site is using silos properly and has a good internal link structure.

The second point is a myth that keeps getting spread. When Penguin was released, MicroSite Masers (I think it was them) published a report showing that sites which got hit had high percentages of the same anchor text being used. Everyone bought into that without digging in any further. Spammers traditionally used the same or just a few varieties of anchor text, but they were building massive amounts of crappy links. It was low quality links causing the problem, not the anchor text percentage.

Think about a real life example. What if I built the world's best online mortgage calculator, and it went viral within the financial industry? Most likely nearly everyone that links to it is going to use the anchor text "mortgage calculator" and some might use "online mortgage calculator". Those two anchor are likely going to make up about 90-95% of the anchors used. So the page hosting my mortgage calculator should be penalized for this? That makes zero sense.

Both items are not correct.

Search engines have crawler, they have structured stats and they can easily filtered it automatically.

How would you link to facebook, twitter and google? Most likely, you will link it using their name or initials or image using their homepage, right?

Say what? Having link to your home page is bad backlink? lol I think you don't know much about SEO my friend

I love watching this. It's like rewriting the previous posters post, and it shifts as someone who actually knows what the hell is going on.

If one person says it works, the herd says it works.

When someone who actually knows what they're talking about says it doesn't work, the herd starts saying it doesn't work.

In the end, it's all a bunch of useless garble with some links to random (sometimes dodgy) services sprinkled in.

This isn't quite the entertainment I was looking for, but whatever. It'll do.

OP -- I hope people don't trust you with their sites.

On the first point- as far as the "homepage" thing is considered it is not unnatural to have 1900 out of 2000 links pointing to your homepage.

There are TONS and TONS of natural sites that have this.

(I analyze tons of expired domains so I would know what I'm talking about here)

In fact the MAJORITY of real natural sites(not ones penalized by Google) are those that have links pointint exclusively to the home page.

As far as keyword diversity, you absolutely do want a diversity here.

However, if your domain is a brand name, you can definitely have 90% brand coming in and that also will not get you penalized whatsoever.

I don't get it.

If I redirect all my links to the home page, what is the adverse effect of these? I have not found any negative effect as I am doing SEO for my own blog. Although I usually share my content in various social bookmarking sites.

[QUOTE=nahidhasan2025;10502290... if you find you have 3000 links and 2900 is targeted just to your home page then it looks unnatural...[/QUOTE]

What if your website is a onepage site? Or what if you really have that many natural links to your homepage?
