    Dear dp friends,
    I have a question in mind for many days want to discuss with you. I have tried following strategy in using anchor text for external link building.
    For example keyword = used cars
    Brand name = pretty.com
    Then I used it in this way
    Used cars for sale

    Your strategy seems fine. Make the anchor texts general and broad over a range. Do not link to a site with the same anchor text over and over again. It gets detected easily. Creating good backlinks with this strategy using more diverse search queries is a good technique.

    'building' links nowadays is a dangerous strategy. A better on is to create good, original content, and let the quality of your pages encourage 3rd parties to create links back to you themselves. That way you won't have to worry about whether your anchor text selections will trigger the Google unnatural link penalty or not.

    Anchor text refers to the words that make up a link; they are the words that turn your mouse cursor into a finger-pointing hand. For example, in the sentence, "I really like to go to this store," "this store" is anchor text for the link.

    Anchor text is a better way of pointing the specific page of your website and also it would be increase the website ranking in search engine. While you go for off page techniques, you can use the target keywords in anchor text will bring you more traffic.

    Anchor text in our back link site is more important as always. Text that covers the links in it is good. as per the strategy, your anchor text is good one to have. do not target a single text to all links, if so it will be easily identified. so avoid that strategy alone. Thanks

    Now a days anchor texts are useless. You should use descriptive phrases related to your services and or products instead of anchor texts. Its advisable to use bare URLs also sometimes. Actually you have to show Google that your link building is genuine.

    I suggest using long tail varieties of your keywords. This makes it easier for you to make the anchor text interesting. For example: "Used Cars on Sale Today!" then link that to your site.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    The keyword variations are okay. Remember do not use the same keywords or you might over optimized them.

    The anchor text, link label, link text, or link title is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. The words contained in the anchor text can determine the ranking that the page will receive by search engines.
