Keywords in anchor text for better ranking

Discussion in 'Google' started by Kinkyjoe, Jan 4, 2009.

    I've been reading that if you put your website keywords in anchor text your ranking will improve, is it true?
    I am going to implement it right now so that I can find out myself. I am asking here to get your opinions.

    + the keywords that I am going to make in anchor text will lead to my own page but in a different location(down or up).

    what do you think of this idea?

    I think you need to have good ancor links, not something like "click here" and on images and such make sure to use the alt text. But really make it descriptive, don't use irrelevant keywords or anything like that.

    Good luck, let us know how it works out.

    It stands to reason that of a large number of links pointing to your site have something to do with blue widgets as the anchor text, then the bots will think your site has some relevance to blue widgets

    Using the targeted keywords as the anchor text for you inbound links will certainly benefit your rankign for that keyword as long as you have on page optimisation to match and don't try to target something too competitive.

    Inner linking structure and anchor text are very important to be used wisely and will help your pages ranks for niche keywords.. however don't expect to rank for any competitive keyword using only inner links though..

    If the bots crawl your anchor text, they will get bump up on search engine results. Just keep in mind, that it is important to place relevant keywords on it, not spam type anchor text.

    Use it appropriately for using anchor text means showing the internet/SE what's the name of your site. Support it with good contents relevant to that keyword/topic.

    This is the same reason why we are putting the keyword on our signature.

    Agree with anchor text - I have also heard that you should vary the anchor text in backlinks.
