I have the a couple of questions surrounding article marketing and link building but I cant find the answer for it which is mainly about anchor text. Lets say my keyword is "how to cure pimples naturally" and I write an article at ezinearticle on it where the first link goes to my review of "acne free in 3 days" and the second uses the keyword "how to cure pimples naturally" and goes to a similar article on my website. My goal since all the keywords I pick have under 50k in competition is to be on the first page on google for that ezinearticle to drive traffic to my site. My question is should I rewrite the article and submit the article to goarticles, and articledashboard with the first link going to "acne free in 3 days" and the second going to "how to cure pimples naturally" that doesn't point to my site but to ezinearticles? I am trying to not leave a footprint for google to spot so I am thinking that these 2 sites anchor text should be different ex: "acne free in 3 days review" and "learn how to cure pimples naturally"? Or if I go one step further I might open up a scribd and articlesnatch account and link those 2 to goarticles with the anchor text ex: "the acne free in 3 days review" and maybe "learn how to cure pimples naturally fast" And then open a slideshare and articlesbase account and link these same anchor texts to articledashboard. Also at the very end take the rss feed of only scribd, articlesnatch, slideshare, articlesbase, and give the feed to the top 10-15 rss sites. What I am trying to do is pass link juice without leaving a footprint but is having a second link always pointing to my site leaving a footprint? I have looked at many link wheels, pyramids type link building but they don't really answer that question. Thanks for any help.
You can always have a second link to your site as long as the content of the article is different. It is a good idea to change up the wording of the anchor text. Check out this site for some tips on building links to gain rank in Google. squidoo.com/autobacklinks
Check out Sean Donahoe's "Link Magnet". That will answer your question. You need to break the link chain somewhere and there's a specific way to do it correctly.
