Link Building And Anchor Text Basics Part 2

Ok I’m up and ready to go. Last post I was talking about link building and no follow tags. Now I’m going to talk about anchor text and how to use them with no follow links.

When you have a chance to place a link on other sites with your anchor text it is a golden moment. When you go to a blog and read a great post (like this one) you might read the comments too.

Let’s say you read a post about back links and you see a comment by some one that look like they know what they are talking about. Their anchor text say something like “Girlie blog” would you click that link to continue your education?
Now same scenario but the anchor text say “Back link Guru” would you click that link? I would.

Just because it’s a no-follow link does not mean it’s useless. I check my visitor stats daily and one of the things I look for is the referring page. I get about 50 visitors from no follow links on a daily basis and Jermaine Fitzgerald Dot Com is brand new.

Yes, we all know Google goes ape shit over anchor text, but the visitor that are on the site reading the content are looking for more right then and there. This is your chance to get them to your site and if you have quality content you can keep them coming back. Building links in a way that people will use them is a strategy I use on a daily basis and trust me it works. I don’t care about no-follow tags or page date, if I read an article that is relevant to one of my own, I use anchor text that will make other readers want to click on my link. Even if Google never see that link real humans will and if my anchor text is interesting and relevant it’s more likely to be clicked on for more information.

Like I said in the last back links post “The more links you have the better the chance of visitors finding your site.” So don’t even waste your time looking for no-follow tags just use some creativity in your anchor text and get as much links as you can.

Anchor text I simply a way for Google to know if one site is relevant to another but, to you is should be a way to get new visitors. Webmasters forget the reason they have a site in the first place. Its not for Google it’s for real user to get information, service or products. Build your site and back links for them and Google will follow.

I have other blogs to write for so I will end this here. I will write about reason # 2 in my next post. I have to go make some breakfast for my wifey. I promised. Good luck with your link build campaigns. See ya!
