Hi, is there any effect on google rankings / SERP if I do link building using click-able url around relavent content and keywords. because many sites do not allow anchor tags and allow only click-able urls. I am targeting all types of sites including press release, blog comments, review sites etc.

Only expert advice please. any practical results are appreciated.

    All links help to build authority, which is ultimately what you are going for, but if you purely want to boost your rankings for a specific key term then you cannot beat a bit of keyword rich anchor text.

    of course, smart SEO's do a mixture of URL's, keywords, site name etc

      At anchor tags you clickable links to send you at some point in the output buffer. Could you give an example of what you are trying to do. It appears you are not satisfied with a lap URL into a clickable link, so I am not sure what you are looking for.

        If you've got and EMD then you will have no problem. Google reads http://mysitekeywords.com like this: http mysitekeywords com.

        Or better yet: http://my-site-keywords.com Google reads like this: http my site keywords com


        If you're targeting EXACT keywords/niches, make sure you create directories accordingly and optimized for web search. So you could always have:

        http://mysitekeywords.com/my-micro-niche-product/
        http mysitekeywords com my micro niche product

        or

        http://mysitekeywords.com/my-nicro-niche-product.html
        http mysitekeywords com my micro niche product html

        CHEERS!

        Hope this sort of helps!??!?
