Thread: SEO Links

When placing anchor text in a link, how often should you vary the phrases. IE. if im going for marbella property should I just keep using that as the anchor text or should I mix it up, maybe sometimes just use property then just marbella as well.

Sorry if this isn´t being explained well, but I hope you catch my drift.

I don't think there's any hard and fast rule, with some SEOs saying that variation is good, and others that you should stick to the keyphrase that's most important to you. However, splitting them up doesn't seem too wise: the keywords "Marbella" and "Property" are both far too wide in scope. Perhaps you could try some better variations, like "Property in Marbella", or some long-tails, like "Beach front Marbella Property" (presuming you have beach front property in Marbella).

I appreciate your advice. Very helpful!

One final question to you, how many links do you think is safe to post every day?

I presume you're asking how many links is it safe to place on your own site per day, and to be honest there's no rule for this either, but you should keep the number of links out of any page to a maximum of 50.

If you're asking how many links is it safe to get TO your site, that's a different story. Mainly because you've no control over when a link to your site will be put up - it's in the hands of another webmaster. You could make 100 link requests per day, but it might be weeks before some are active, and days for others.

Instead of focusing on the quantity of links, think more about the quality. One good link from a page with decent PR, few other links out, and content relevant to your own, will do you more good than 50 links from dodgy pages with no PR and no real content. Try to get links from sites that are in the same field of business as your own, but not in direct competition.

Quite a relevant question

The search engines look at the pattern with which your site gets links. I honestly do not think the number of links your site gets a day matters as long as it is consistent

If your site suddenly gets 150 links one day and then nothing subsequently, you links will raise a flag leading to your site being investigated

But if you get the same number and this is consistent then no worries

^Drang3d I also use the same tool amigo but would check the first two stated above.

Hello guys! This is really a Helpful thread. I am new to SEO, and I want to ask how could I increase my PR of my website? what must I do to have it increased?
