Does your average high SEO metrics/authority website owner understand SEO?

...Because if they don't I can't understand why all the questions revolving around precision to detail in SEO...

things like anchor text diverse percentages and the amount of links on a page and where they are placed seem so redundant to ask especially if you are trying to appear like you got the link naturally...

the average person who gives you a link naturally doesn't know SEO.

They know basic website skills like maybe how a CMS like WP works from the dashboard and things like that.

When these people give you a link on their site they are probably doing it "wrong" hahaha.

Just a thought before you people go obsessing over your SEO trivial details lol

    I have a couple of niche authority sites, they've been getting links built by traffic for years (still happening today).

    A person that doesn't understand SEO doesn't need to know much to build a link, even copy/pasting a URL on some sites converts the URL into a clickable hyperlink. If the keyword is in the URL, the same keyword is in the anchor-text (for that example).

    It's not complicated.

        Lets talk about anchor text. Should it really matter?

        is "click here" bad anchor text even if you are on a high authority site?

        A crappy product or service by people that disappear from the forum for a long period of time to make it look like they were working on something so when they come back you will want to click on their crappy product or service link

        CLICK HERE! LOL

          Click here might be useful for encouraging direct traffic to click the link but it's not helping as far as keyword anchor-text (SEO).

          If that backlink website/page is focused on the same/similar niche as the money site, example, keyword in backlink page title, I think the click here anchor-text is ok as far as SEO since the page title, on-page text already has the keyword covered. Still, I would prefer a followed keyword rich anchor-text link If possible.

    Hi,

    It sounds to me like the OP is mad about something. Why else would someone post a thread like this one?
