Hi everyone,

Everybody know that anchor text diversification is crucial for SEO, but does any one know more or less once every how many times to do it and in what way?

Also,

Do you diversify your titles too?

Thanks!

    Are you talking of onsite or offsite optimization? Here's a thumb rule I use: offsite:focus on the high volume keywords pertinent to your site. Keep building till you hit top ranking.
    onsite: it has to appear natural - best to target specific keywords pertinent to your target page and include them in the navigation of the site. Keep the number of target keywords below SPAM level.

    Your question is not clear. If you want to know how many times you should repeat your anchor text in a link, the answer is one. And if you want to know how many backlinks you should make for your website to rank high for a special niche, it depends on the amount of competition for that keyword.

      If I were you, I wouldn't pretty much worry about it and I know some of the backlinking gurus out there will agree.

      If you try to change every anchor text (example: using synonyms) on your linkbuilding campaigns, it will weaken each other out.

      And do not try to rank a page for more than one keyword.

      The more you use a particular keyword in your link building efforts, the higher it will rank.

      If you really want to be on the safe side, try to diversify but always include the keyword in it.

        Hi,


        My advice would be:

        - Use on 75% of your backlinks the same anchor text
        - And for your titles depend, the less keywords the more weight, but depend on the age of your site and the weight of the backlinks to that page.
        - You can change your titles a little bit if you are using autoblogs.... specially if you are using wordpress, look for it, you might find it...to answer your question, do not have the same titles on your site they could be filtered as duplicate content...

        All the best,

        Guido DeSpano

    Diversifying you anchor text and your titles is counterproductive and only delay your climb to the top. LSI related keywords sprinkled in your text is sufficient. Switching anchors is folklore created from paranoid seo people in an effort to appear "natural".

    Don't believe me ask Angela Edwards or Terry Kyle.

    I usually work on 3 words per linkbuilding endeavour. Easy for me to work, monitor, and track. Not only that, I get to see results.

      Never mix up your anchor words to the same page, unless you just add something
      subtle, like boxing gloves and boxing glove tape. Not boxing gloves to workout
      bags. Okay, maybe that example is a little weird.

      If you do, you are scattering yourself around like a chicken with its head cut off.
      Even you don't know what your main page is about.

      The 75% rule above is good, but in context of backlinking.

      I do 65-75% backlinks to the main page (same text) and 25-35% links
      to sub pages, but almost always with the same text for each.

      One page I did I was all over the map. I just could not get a good
      keyword phrase down. I finally did the google trick. I typed the first
      keyword in and looked at what google suggested. I then did each and
      every link with the first suggestion.

      Diversity is one thing. Disorder is another.

      Remember, your main page has a narrow target. It's the content that
      will spread yourself around and feed off the main page. Even if you 100%
      link to main page, same text, your page will seep PR to subpages anyway
      and garner more search terms.

    Anchor text diversification from an SEO stand point of view is very important. I once had a site which almost got wiped off from teh SERP's because of too much similarity in the incoming anchor texts.

    I do not have any magical % to share with you, but think logically. Just do so mix up and make sure that you include do follow and no follow links as well.

      Hi guys,

      Thanks for the advices.

      About the LSI keyowrds - it's a myth.

      proofs:

      Latent Semantic Indexing is Lame | StomperNet

      and

      SEOmoz | Dr. Garcia is Getting Tired of LSI Marketing

      Regarding the title diversification, I would like to hear more opinions. From your experience, is it good to use your main keyword in all of the titles of your backlinks or would you build from time to time backlinks that their titles don't contain that keyword at all? if so, do you have some kind of magical % for this?

      Thanks again

    your titles is counterproductive and only delay your climb towards the prime. LSI associated search phrases sprinkled within your text is ample. Switching anchors is folklore developed from paranoid search engine optimization individuals in an work to seem "natural"

    Ok I ll tell you my story.

    I have experienced nothing but healthy growth of all the aspects . Google ranking climb , organic traffic, organic backlinking from visitors etc etc. It takes some time, but I have beaten up www.keyword.coms with all the same anchor text backlinking stuff every time. With LESS backlinks to my page ( my domain is a few months old with no serious backlinking done to it ).

    I always used different titles, different authors, different resource boxes and different anchor texts. ALWAYS! If I was to use all the same I wouldnt get so many indexed backlinks...no freaking way.

    I used to try using only the keyword I was targeting as my backlink....didnt come close to this variating method.

    But hey...its A WAY not THE WAY.

    Sincerely, Delosense

    Diversity is good and can also avoid problems such as de-index or google bombs, which I have the pleasure of not experiencing as of yet.

    So when I submit 1000 articles ill use 1/4 or 1/3 variations of keyword phrases for title and anchor.
