Want to share it here and here your opinion. http://www.seowizz.net/2010/09/anchortext-not-as-powerful-new-techniques-2010.html
I like the finding that you need links to every page in your site rather than just the home page. You so often see trade requests (by the thousands) for links to their home page, and get strange looks (I'm sure they're looking strange at their computer screen) when you request a link back to site . com / randompage. Yeah I could have guessed that was how it works. Very informative article though, nice read. P.S. I posted the link like that (not a real link don't worry) cause I don't want to get yelled at again, I'm a newbie be nice!
That's a very nice read - up to the edgy trend of SEO. The authoritativeness of a domain is getting more and more weight in ranking calculations. The key has always been to make things appear natural rather than focusing too much on something - over-optimized anchor text, too many sitewide links, etc.
Building links to each individual page on yuor website is essential if you are to dominate google, for example I use link building to rank 2 and sometimes 3 web pages on Google searches, without this knowledge my site would only have 1 bite at the google chery, now it has 2 and sometimes three.
Yeah, it is important to not have all of your links with the same anchor text because that won't look natural enough to google. It is basically what we all already knew but still it is interesting to see that the importance of anchor texts has decreased.
Anchor text backlink is the most important factor in linkbuilding. Read every where, SEO-gurus say it counts.
I think this is yet more of the overanalysis nonsense that has plagued SEO forever. This guy misses the forest for the trees, like most so-called SEO experts. Good SEO hasn't changed at all in the past decade! Quality backlinks + quality content = good Google ranking. It's really that simple. The recent changes punish people who have spammed links and lots of low quality links. Like all the other changes, if you were already focusing on good content and good backlinking, you will actually probably benefit from it and have no need to adjust your SEO approach at all.
Amen. You can just pick and choose what causes you to shift in SERPs. It's not back & white and shame on him for spreading rumors throughout the SEO community. So someone should tell this guy if he has any integrity he would leave all his anchor text blank from now on.. but then again, if you read his article only his title rips on anchor text. The actual article itself says nothing supportive.
Oh, come on man. The sarcasm isn't necessary and you misrepresent or misunderstand my point. The things he mentions as being penalized are exactly the sorts of things that someone who just focused on good on-site optimization, good content, and quality backlinks doesn't have to worry about. If you focus on the latest gimmicks, fads, and popular trends in SEO, of course you're going to have issues when Google adjusts to counteract the massive amounts of spam that accompany them. If you focus on basic, good content and SEO practices, the changes often have little impact and are more like to benefit you than harm you.
The day anchor text's lose their edge, is the day Google has something better to do. Anchor text is not only alive, but it is thriving. The only reason someone would think anchor texts are dead is because, they are too busy building them on crap sites. A well optimize page, and backlinks on good authority sites will always pay off in the serps... A 100 well placed backlinks will always outrank 1000 placed where ever there is a submit button, backlinks any day IMO... The impression I get is that people think the more the better, when the truth is, the more quality the backlink, the better IMO Instead of people trying to gain as many links as possible, they should try building backlinks to the backlinks to produce good links...
