    Hi say I want to rank for both

    banana

    "and"

    banana skin


    if I use both anchor text will it degrade my listing height in google??

    I am already ranked high for banana and now I want to rank for banana skin


    BTW I am not ranking for those they are an example.

    Nah it won't at all.

    I have sites that are ranking in the top 3 at google for more then 7,000 keywords.

    Go ahead and use both anchors, you'll see an improvement for sure :D

    Agreed. And don't go overboard with optimizing your anchor texts, too many links with the same anchor may raise a red flag @ Google.

    Would like to add one thing, in on page optimization u use banana skin it self contain banana so no need to use both keyword "banana" and "banana skin"
    as a separate keyword. u r targeting banana in banana skin.
    where as in off page optimization go for both keyword as a anchor text.

    all the best

    If you use banana skin as your anchor text this will help you improved SERP in both "banana" and "banana skin"

    both are different searchs for google.

    you must have backlinks with both of the keywords like "banana" and "banana skin"

    actually. im in top 3 for banana but for banana skin im all the way back on page 3 so ranking for the main keyword doesnt really help too much.


    Also one more thing I do not have pagerank yet thou I have these rankings according to google

    Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 436 for link: www.xyzbusiness.com.au. (0.05 seconds)


    so hopefully I gain some pagerank in the next update.



    Im hoping to be finished with school soon so I can do some major SEO for my site as currently I have only seo'd 2 products which sell like hotcakes.

    you can use both but focus more on "banana" because it also include the sameword in another keywords. if you ranked well in "banana" it also help in "banana skin" ranking too.

    No, it will not degrade your listings. you must go for different keyword variations.

    Agree with jg_abad, banana skin itself contains the keyword banana.

    Agreed that same Anchor text for all link can be something dangerous and seems to be spammed (in eyes of google), so its good idea to look for versatility.

    Cheers
