Hey im using "Football Forums - SoccerOD |" for sites linking to me, is this good if i want to rank high for "football forums" or should i remove the "soccerOD part" ? suggestions appreciated.
You should remove the soccerOD part. But not indefinitely. After a month or so, change it up to something else, still using Football Forums in the anchor, like - Football and Soccer Forums. And then a month after that just use one word from the original anchor text, like Football Discussion Groups. Then another month use the other original anchor text word, like - Soccer Forums. Then start back with your original anchor text.
Update: you should use [football], you should use [forums], you should use [soccer]... vary your anchor text, bury it in copy...
If I were you I would use "soccer videos" for my anchor text. Has much more search per day and less competition. And of course is still relevant to your site. Also add "soccer videos" in your title of course. Results provided by Keyword Discovery and my bordom.
Anchor text should be just "Football Forums" linking description can and should include your "soccerOD" . For very competitive terms I have seen the keywords be used in the anchor text , twice more in the linking discription and in the target url and/or filename as in www.football-forums.net/football-forums.php .
