Should I alternate Anchor Text (title)

    When submitting links to directory, should I alternate the Anchor Text (Title) every time using different keywords?

    Some people suggest to use the same anchor text, e.g. Red Gadget. When people search for "Red gadget', the SE returns your site in search Results as SE saw the keywords associate with your sites so many times.

    But some people think SE see these keywords as spammy.

    What do you think?

    Alternating the anchor text makes the link building process to look more natural.
    So it's definitely a good idea to alternate the anchor text.
    Furthurmore you don't optimize for just one word right?

    Answer is yes.
    It's more natural. Working with exactly one keyword is spamming for SEs.

    You should always alternate your anchor texts. Even if you only want to target one keyword you should still have variability in your title tags and anchor texts.

    Get variations of the anchor text. Find related words and additional words you can add to your key phrase. I always try to get 10 or 15 variations and then mix it up.

    This is not a good thing what i believe, if you want long term listing for your website on your main and targeted keywords you should not change anchor text, even you can have 3 or 4 keywords while building links than wats problem, for each and every page the anchor will be different, so build link for each and every page, rather than changing anchor for one link only...
