A question on backlinks

Discussion in 'Keywords' started by gatewayink, Nov 15, 2006.

    Suppose I want to target 3 keywords with backlinks pointing to one url. Can all 3 keywords be included on a single page or url of another site? Do they count well for seo?

    it's probably not the same as having the 3 keywords on 3 different sites but it definitely helps with rankings (even links using your keywords from your site to other pages on your site helps if done properly)

    Does search engine count them as 3 backlinks even if they are from same page or url?

    I'm pretty sure it will only be listed once in your backlinks which may indicate that it is counted as one backlink although each link should pass on PageRank so if you are linking to different pages it will split the PageRank amongst those different pages. If you are linking to the same page 3 times with different anchor texts, that page will receive 3*1/3 the pagerank it would get with only 1 outgoing link that goes to your site but the relevancy will be different because of the different anchor texts used. Hope that makes some sense.

    Can you elaborate a little more on above?
    Will it give value or weightage to all 3 key words for serps?
    Thanks,

    I think it may not give as much relevancy you want It will give top weigtage to one keyword and less weightahe to others

    Best way is to target them separately .. but also include these keywords in your contents and in important tags. :)

    I just meant that since the links will have different anchor texts they will mean something different to the SEs in terms of what your site is about. I'm speaking very generally though as there are many other factors.

    Does the quality of other backlinks on the page linking to your site affect the value of the backlink?
