best approaches

Pre Florida inbound linking structure options. Which ANCHOR TEXT option is the current suggested method to target the term "blue widgets" for a site's SEO.

A. "blue widgets"

B. "randomtext blue widgets

C. "widgets blue"

D. "randomtext blue randomtext wigets"

E. "yourcompanyname"

F. none of the above. (please explain why)

[nileshkurhade]

using A thru F alternately, so that a filter to check if you are exchanging links dosent affect your site.

>using A thru F alternately

+ "<a>shorttext blue widgets shorttext</a>"
+ "<p>alotoftext <a>blue widgets</a> alotoftext</p>"

[monsterisp]

<a>shorttext blue widgets shorttext</a>"
+ "<p>alotoftext <a>blue widgets</a> alotoftext</p>

Interesting... anyone else support this?

Natural linking is all of the above, therefore go for them all, included "click Here" and any others you can think of.

[canuck]

Agreed, to make your links appear more natural I've added:
'Click Here'
'www.Widgets.com'
'Widgets.com'
'CompanyName - ...'

Plus, thinking themes is never a bad thing in your link development. The jury's still out how important it is now, however, it's bound to be soon if not already.

alternate when possible, also combine "widgets - company name", or "co name - widgets".

Hello people I am new to this board. I am totally cluless when it come to linkbacks and page ranking, which is why my site has a pr of 0. Please help What can I do to increase this? I would mention my site but not sure that is a violation of this board.

Hi, Cashback. Welcome to WebmasterWorld! You are in the right forum to learn about linking! In general, the most important thing to know is that links to your site are good. If some of them contain your keywords, that's better. You can view PageRank by installing the Google toolbar. Links from high PR pages tend to be better than ones from low pages, but all are good. Links from on-topic sites are better (and will usually yield more click traffic) than links from random off=topic sites.

If you browse the past posts, you'll find strategies for finding link sites, contacting them, how to organize your own links, etc.

Don't forget your visitors and target audience - if your linking strategy benefits them, you are almost certainly on the right track.

Just to add to that you might want to start by getting some free one way links to get your PR started. Not many people will link with a PR0 site
