Ive always been told to use my main KW as the anchor text in backlinks when building backlinks to my site. Today I was goofing of and put in a KW then checked the backlinks to the guy in the #1 spot and he did not have that KW in any of his anchor text period. He did have a few thousand back links but the anchors were all random ****. :confused:

How does a guy rank #1 for said KW and not even use it in his backlinking strategy? Maybe soley ranking on his on page SEO?

    Just wondering... What was the page rank of the site? Was it an authority site?

    Could be on-page seo and sheer power of the website if it's regarding as good content from Google's perspective.
