Hi, I have a question that has sort of been brought up here many times, but all i could find is people asking it specifically about PR and I'd like an approach from a more 'general SEO point of view'... Say I have a site about bowling and i want my home page to rank well for this word. I know that I should use "bowling" as an anchor text of internal links on pages throughout my site (linking to the home page). Now the question is, do I do that with EVERY occurrence of "Bowling" or just with the first one on each page? Will 5 links from page A to homepage be better than just one? Or maybe i Should do more than one, but not too many? like 2,3? Also, same question in regards to links from other sites. If I write an article about bowling on another site, and i could use HTML freely, should I just use the first occurrence of 'bowling' to link to my site, some, or all of them? Thanks
thanks for replying privadous, If i write an article about bowling on another site, and link 10 occurrences of the word 'bowling' to my site, will that: 1. Be considered as spam? will 2 links? 5? 2. Do i even have any reason to put 5 or 10 links, or will 1 or 2 from the external site do the job just as good?
The idea is to make it look natural and easy, dont' hyperlink every time you use the word bowling... IMO using it once on a page is enough...you'd be better off hyperlinking to some of yuor other pages, with different keywords, and write the article to make sure it looks natural withing the text, and is relevant...
