Dear All,

I would like to create text link for google, by create link exchange with in our group. If my keywords are bangkok hotel, thailand hotel and phuket hotel, and would like to create links to index.htm.

Should I use one text for one link such as " thailand hotel, bangkok hotel, phuket hotel,

or should I use the text link the same as this "thailand bangkok phuket hotel".

Whic one can help me get top ranking each keyword or the same result.

I ask same as this, because I scare if I have a lot of cross lext links with in our group. Google will see this is spam.

<a href="http://www.domain.com/index.html" title="thailand hotel">thailand hotel</a>,

<a href="http://www.domain.com/index.html" title="bangkok hotel">bangkok hotel</a>,

<a href="http://www.domain.com/index.html" title="phuket hotel">phuket hotel</a>.

your link anchor text and attributes should be precise as possible to reflect the new page content but also to resemble the searchers query.

Each hotel is different -- and should be linked organized that way if possible.

"hotel" appears to be one of your primary keywords. What other keywords are you targeting, other than thailand, bangkok and phuket?

I am target "bangkok hotel, phuket hotel and thailand hotel"
So, scare if I every page in my group have three text links to index.htm, it will be spam.

So I think it is better if I use just one text link by using this link text " thailand bangkok phuket hotel". But I don't know which one is better for get the ranking keywrods" thailand hotel, bagkok hotel, phuket hotel"

many thank

Use the one that is the most competitive (makes money for you) in the anchor text to your index page. Target the other two with content from within the site.

Hmmm... links, text, images, etc. for different hotels isn't spam nor will google detect this as such.

Same color text on background and keyword stuffing "bangkok hotel, phuket hotel and thailand hotel" over and over again would be spam, or the use of many 1 x1 pixel images and links would be spam.

A page that groups different hotel together and linking to a page that expands on their individuals locations, assets or market value is never going to be comsidered spam.

My sticky profile (link) reflects science software on the main page and links to different scince software "geology, meteorology, oceanography, astronomy, physics, chemistry and remote sensing. This is no different to "hotels" when used in the same fashion.

Your theme is hotels and theming is good, making related bits of different infromation support each other to gain positioning based on your page/site being more of an authority on "hotels" vice an orphan site with one hotel.

One other thing to avoid though -- is linking every single page to every single other page on different web sites. Heavy "crosslinking" doesn't help the potential visitor find information faster -- therefore if you crosslink sites, make sure you are doing it to assist visitors, and google will not consider this spam either.

If you however, crosslink just to "get more links" you would be entering danerous spam territory.
