I-wonder-what-the-point-is-of-not-using-spaces-in-some-of-the-anchor-text-I've-seen-in-coop-ads. Some of them are the domain-name.com variety, but others aren't. Just a habit from writing file names? I mean, since Google supposedly sees a hypen as a space anyway, why not make it readable to humans in this instance? Plus, (and this is why I've been noticing) my drupal columns see them as a single word and run them out the side. This only applies to a couple sites where I don't have the ads in the footer, I guess I can move these, getting that block to wrap isn't worth the time. Is there some point in ranking for a long hyphenated anchor text? Even if it is seen by the spiders as one word, surely no one searches for that word? Not, really expecting any change, this is just me spouting my reaction, well that's ugly and strange! I also don't like coconut in my chocolate bars.
(OT: Is that SEbasic trying to rank for his name? You are really set on beating Dzjaimey Oliver! ) Yeah, I don't see the point either. As anchor text for ranking it's pointless, no one searches that string. From a traffic/advertising point of view it's pretty crap too IMO. There is a mac char limit though but I guess it's a lot longer than your average verticale column (+/-160-180 px).
