Basic backlink question

Hello,

I am new to seo and I have a question regarding backlinks. I am currently trying to target two niches, "Free iTunes gift cards" and "Free Amazon Gift cards" Is it bad to try to target these two niches in the same backlink? Or should I pick one?

Which backlink is better, or are both bad:

<a href=http://mywebsite>Free iTunes Gift Card and Free Amazon Gift Card Codes</a>

Code (markup):

or

<a href=http://mywebsite>Free iTunes and Amazon Gift Card codes</a>

Code (markup):

Sorry if these are 'noobish' questions. Thanks in advance.

 

Go for different back links for different Anchors

 

I would use just one of the two keywords as anchor text and switch between them.

 

Sorry, could you please expand upon that?

 

Do you mean have two backlinks like these:

<a href=http://mywebsite>Free iTunes Gift Card</a>

<a href=http://mywebsite>Free Amazon Gift Card Codes</a>

Code (markup):

 

I generally find quicker results if I set up one page for each term that I'm targeting. Your two target keywords are fairly similar so I guess it could be done on one page, but if we take human searchers into account, I think one landing page for each term is probably appropriate.

 

Is it a problem if I have two backlinks in my signature, with different keywords, promoting the same link. For example:

Have both of these in my signature.

<

a href=http://[B]SameWebsite[/B]>Free iTunes Gift Card </a>
<a href=http://[B]SameWebsite[/B]>Free Amazon Gift Card </a>

Code (markup):

 

Pick one according to their relevancy to your domain and their popularity in your site content.
You may also consider their search volumes and competitions.

 

you cant place 2 anchors on 1 links, so just make 2 links with different anchors, and you can go for as many keywords you want..

 

I would use 2 different anchor texts links with 2 different keyword phrases in this case. ITunes gift cards will be one anchor text, the other will be free amazon gift cards.

 

Yes this one correct...Go ahead with this...

 

Well, in my opinion, the latter is better than the first one. But it doesn't mean you'll rank on those two keywords. It could give you some help with those keywords but it would not be enough to rank them. Also try to get links on your two main keywords using them as your main anchor text.

 

remember two things only.
1. Backlinks must contain hyperlink to your exact webpage.
2. Anchor text must be there in your backlink.

 

it's all ok buddy i am also work like this cause in one page there is different combination of keyword so we need to promote all combination on same site..
Like :
Main keyword : car loan
Combination: car loans, car finance,car financing, auto loan, auto loans,auto loan finance,auto finance and so on....

so you can promote this keyword on same website....but it is good habit to change your every keyword in promotion..

 

Thank you everyone for helping me out.

 

Don't stick with just one anchor. Make sure to use a variety.

 

So does that mean on one forum I use "free itunes gift card" and another I use "free itunes gift codes," etc?

 

each page should have several keyword, you should use different anchors with one links, then you could get more traffics.

 

most important is .... dont spam.

 

You can use two anchor text for the two phrases, that is better!
