How many keywords to put in an anchor?

    When making anchor text is it better to use 1,2,3,or more keywords? For example, I can choose to use the keywords "tutoring", "private tutoring", "tutoring service", or "private tutoring service". What is the best way to approach the situation?

    Really, its up to you. But you want to keep as many primary keywords in the text as possible.

    What is the advantage of using more or less?

    Well, if you had a page that was all a link google is probably smart enough to know its spam, thus negate its value.

    Conversely, if your anchor text is only "link" then it doesnt describe the page very well. I just choose anchor text that makes sense to the reader and let the rest sort itself out.

    Always keep a single keyword as anchor text.
    It's common sense that Search Engines (Google, in this case) will treat the whole anchor text as single keyword (Be it comma or space separated).

    In an anchor tag u can use maximum of 3 relevent keywords. Before u put anchor tag make sure that u r using the r8 keyword in that particular place. Search for keyword density find the proper keyword and then use that keyword.

    The best is to use one keyword as your main keyword and 2 as sub-keywords which can be used. You should not overdo link building with main keyword and this is why you should use more than 2 keywords.
