I am trying out guest posting for my techblog. I am trying to submit few guest posts every week..

I am targetting 2 main keywords..the secondary ones are targetting using on page SEO

my question is

1) Suppose the keyword is "Android" and "Android Apps"...I mostly link both the links to my main site ...Do I need to vary the link? or should I keep it same ?
I heard that we need to link internal pages too...I am not doing that as I need just my homepage to come up

Please tell me what should I do

    Putting both links back to the same page is not particularly valuable.

    You should be linking to internal pages - it looks very unusual to Google if all external links are going to your homepage.

    I would suggest that you should have some sort of section, or article, on Android Apps, and link back to that in addition to your homepage.

    Each of your pages in your blog should have a link to the home page for good internal linking SEO.

    In your guest posts, I would have one link to my home page/domain, and then vary the other links to internal pages. But, I would use the key word for that internal page post, not use the same key word over and over. I would think that you want those internal pages to rank for their own key word.

    But that is just me.

    If it is possible, lead to an internal page. Let's say you have an article on blog commenting, and your guest post was about forum backlinks. It would be a good idea to link to your "blog commenting" page, because people always want to learn more on the same subject.
