I have question that I hope that you could help clarify for me. If one links for two words 'aaaa bbbb' regularly when commenting on the forums, blogs and articles. Would this also help the ranking for just 'aaaa' or would I need to create links for just 'aaaa' too?
Did you mean: "will this help the ranking for both 'aaa' and 'bbb', or if you need to target both separately? If you're talking about the first- I think that it should help with both 'aaa' and 'bbb', though search engines may actually put more weight on both words used as a phrase 'aaa bbb'. I hope that made sense.
Hi Duncan.Leung To be specific. The term 'chiropractic singapore' has a search volume of 3600 times a months and 'chiropractic' has 8100. I have been building links for 'chiropractic singapore' and rank locally (.com.sg) around 45. My question is, would I need to make specific links for 'chiropractic' only or is 'chiropractic singapore' enough to rank well for 'chiropractic' in the future.
The best SEO link building strategy is to make the links appear as if they have been built up independantly, reflecting the quality and importance of your website. It is unlikely that if the links were built naturally that everyone would all use exactly the same keywords in the link. While the vast majority of your links should be your number 1 keyword phrase, you should also have some links that use slight variations, such 'chiropractic in singapore', and a few 'chiropractic' as well.
If you want to rank for the keyword "chiropractic", then you'll need to build backlinks with the anchor text of "chiropractic", I highly doubt you'll manage to achieve ranking for "chiropractic" by only using the anchor text "chiropractic singapore", but building backlinks with the anchor text "chiropractic singapore" is still going to help your ranking for the keyword "chiropractic", but it won't be engouth to get you a decent ranking for the keyword "chiropractic".
just do the geotargeted like chiropractic singapore,it's good to be specific that to target the broad or general kws where you have many competitors.or you may try using long tail kws.
