Anchor Text Variation

"I heard it is necessary to change up your anchor text when submitting to directories and articles sites, etc.
If you have 4 main keywords you're targeting, should you just rotate those, or even do variations on those 4? I would think you'd want to stick with the main 4 only to increase relevance?"


Sure, it's advisable to mix it up a little and not keep to the same one.

You see the idea here is to avoid any foot prints that maybe left behind - one of the reasons why you shouldn't submit the same article out to loads of article directories, more more articles you can get that stay out of the supplemental index, the better as these will give you more weight on your anchor text keywords.
Also, it's not human to keep posting the same anchor text links all over the place, like if you posted the same keyword out to 100 places and they have a time stamp on them (the date and time when google or another search engine indexes your page in their cache servers) within minutes or so within each other, their algorithm is going to know that you either used some sort of software or used a service to post out these articles with the same anchor text.

So mix it up some. :)
I'd recommend using Web site content Wizard to do this and Article Post Robot to send out different articles, different bio-sections that contain your anchor text in them, and different subject lines.

Let's suppose we have the keyword phrase: "Internet Business Marketing".

We can use that as one keyword phrase.

We can use "Business Marketing" as another. "Internet Marketing" as another. And "Internet Business" as another. (this also goes when using the keyword meta tag, there is no need to use these, just stick with the main one - Internet Business Marketing, and same too with the title tag, because the combinations are already there for the search engine to pick out from ;) )

Or we can use semantically related keywords on the first three, and I'm sure you'll be able to find more that are related to Internet Marketing, Business Marketing, Internet Business. for as long as you have loads of links pointing back to your page that have that keyword in it, or the keyword anchor text that is pointing to your page is semantically related, you'll automatically rank well for that keyword and some others that you hadn't planned for.

Hey there, I am having a little difficulty with theindex page- URL as you can see from my posts below for www.healthe-minds.org/index.htm. When I chage the sitemap to index.htm the page www.healthe-minds.org which is where i would want to be the index page or home page is blank - it pulls up nothing. What I am doing wrong? This is on Marks service Loz so you have my info for the server if you get a chance and want to check it out. If anyone has an advice id gladly take it. I have been working mostly on the seo cluster so I havent really investigated too much but I would guess it is probably a simpe thing I have done wrong. Thanks

All the best, Krista

Additional info for post above, I forgot for this website (the main website not a subdomain) I do not have a sitemap, I am having probs generating one with the ROR sitemap generator we are supposed to use for our seo cluster websites , it desnt pull up any links to generate a sitemap, so basically Its my home page i have as index.htm which is what works when you call that in the brower, but what i am trying to achieve is for the www.healthe-minds.org to be the index or home page. Does that make sense? I hope so Any comments?/

All the best, krista

Hi Krista,

Send me a yahoo instant message with the login details again please. I lost your details so I can't check for you. :(

I think it's something to do with the extension of your file, perhaps there is no extension or the file is just blank.
