When building backlinks for keyword "cheap car rentals". Does that mean website will rank for all 3 words - "cheap", "car", "rentals"? If i want to optimize for "car rentals" do i have to start backlinking campaign for phrase "car rentals" or it is already enough to build backlinks for "cheap car rentals" to rank for all separate phrases?

You see "cheap car rentals" is not exact match if i want to rank for phrase "car rentals". Is exact match bonus for anchor text applies here like it applies for domains?

    Well it will give you a bit of relevance for all those terms but given the competition on the shorter tail words don't expect to rank high. The most movement you are going to see is for the match "cheap car rental".

      That means if i want to rank for both "cheap car rental" and "cheap rental" i better to optimize for "cheap car rental" to kill both birds with one shot?

    You better rotate your anchor texts with related keywords as cheap car rentals, cheap car rental, rental car cheap price etc. These kind of link profiles look natural and you'd start ranking for all similar keywords.

      You are right guys, it is better to vary anchor text and it is better to start from longer tail keyword. How could i forget about this...
