When building naked url links its good to diversify the anchors ie:

www.site.com
http://site.com
http://www.site.com

Now thats for anchor text. But do you also want to diversify the actual link itself embedded in the anchor text?

    Your whole post mixes url and anchor text.

    In fact, I have read your post at least 10 times, and nothing
    makes sense.

    You must have heard a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who
    said something about anchor text. Something google never said
    anything about. Varying anchor text, that is.

    And now you bring up varying urls? Holy cow...insane people.
    (Of course you actually show domains above, not urls...
    If you put something like site.com/ well, that could be a url.
    But I digress...)

    Just insane.

      I barely understood a word you said.

      When you are making url backlinks it is a good idea to write the anchors to the same site differently www. http:// http://www. That way it looks more natural.

      I am building these myself. What I am wondering is if I should also be diversifying the source urls too as www. http://www, http://

      Hopefully someone who is aware of SEO can help me.

        If the site resolves to http://www.somesite.com, make all the links and if you include the url in the anchor text just be consistent.

        When you are providing descriptive information/keywords it's good to vary the text.

        ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

        Complete garbage. No wonder you didn't understand what I said.

        Natural anchors? Diversifying source?

        Come on man. Just build the links with terrific anchor text. Use the same "url"
        and the same text.

        Stop trying to shmooze google when there is no need to even shmooze them.

        You are talking like you are wanting to fool google. Why?

          Well fooling google is the whole point of seo, or at least its trying to simulate a real site.

          So why wouldn't I make it appear more natural. Thats the basis of good seo.

          Its not like it requires any more time to vary the anchors.

          If you had 10,000 people link to your site via a url anchor, they would not ALL be www.yoursite.com. They would be variations of http://, www., http://www.

            Fooling google is the whole point of SEO.... - No that's not true.

            Make it more natural? More natural is when people decide to link to your site. That is natural. Meaning that your site is tight, people SHOULD or WANT to link to your site.

            Optimize your site so Google will know what you're talkin about for that particular page. From there, market your site like any other online marketing. Forget about the whole 'anchor text' variations. Just.... share your damn site.

    You want to link to internal pages on your site if that is what you are asking. That helps send link juice to different pages on your site which in turn will help indexing and ranking other internal pages.

    All linkbuilding campaigns should target links to just about every valuable page on your site while blending in anchor text distribution.

    This prevents over-optimization penalties and makes your site seem more reputable than a site that receives links to only its homepage.
