Keywords in URL links? Does it make a difference while Backlinking?

    If you use keyword backlinks with the same, url keywords in them, do the search engines take this into consideration for a stronger, more relivant link?

    For Example: (I dont want to use a "real" website)

    A href="http://www.Example-for-Sale.com" >Example for Sale</A>


    will this provide more link juice &/or more link value? Is it worth purchasing a bunch of domains with good keywords in them?

    Agreed. I can't find the link, but there was an experiment on made-up keywords and it would index for words that appeared in the URL even if they didn't appear in the anchor text or target page.

    See you need to understand

    Having a keyword that is under 8 will do this
    - Not affect the page's pagerank
    - Increase the anchor text value

    The keywords in the URL helps, but when backlink building, you should use your keywords and a varied set of keywords, as often as possible.

    The major benefit comes from the link text other webmasters use when they link back to you. If your domain is www.somerandomwords.com you'll often get people linking to you with "some random words" as the anchor text even though you asked them to use "example for sale". If you can get a domain that has your keywords do it.

    $10 for a domain name which includes my keyword?

    Not unless you are trying to brand something, but that would be just
    one domain per branding, if that makes sense. Like if you are sellling
    t-shirts for large people, sure reg t-shirts-for-large-people.com, of
    course.

    However, if you have many keyword phrases, it will not be worth the money
    to reg a shitload of keyword stuffed domains, instead use folders like:

    xoiwerlkjl.com/greatest-large-t-shirts

    That is just as effective as keyword in domain name, imo.

    I agree with you it is the logical way to go, but no it's not as effective as keywords within domains.
