Ok so you get backlinks from website in other languages (but with desired anchior text english one for exemple) do that link has same/similar power as from a related site but in english ? From my experience i tend to say yes but not 100% sure about this wanted to hear your experiences .....
Hey, I have actually the same question - to be honest the only (and m.p.best )way to find this out is to do some testing yourself keep me posted...
I had such links several months ago and I should say it works if two sites (mine in English and someones e.g. Spanish) are on related topic. So such links are useful as well as links on one language sites. -- it is true if Google hasn't changed something and I really doubt he has.
Well yes related of course .... any others i need to se if this is more general or i and Chris where lucky
Good question. Does Google see the anchor text as words (language) or strings of characters? My guess would be strings because it's from a indexed database field.
partly agree, don't think that Google will check language of the anchor text if, for example, the page is already indexed... who knows))
From what I've seen, it should be more relevant in the country search engines. eg if you have english links on chinese sites, It will have more relevance in Google HK. Still counts a bit for the main Google but obviously if its on chinese sites then the Chinese SEs will play a bigger role.
