The linking to home only strategy

True or mith? Where to focus your incoming links?

[silverbytes]

I've heard getting links to your home (www.yoursite.com) is the best. If your domain is strong will pass popularity to the rest of pages. So getting your 100 incoming links to the same page is the best.

Is that true?

In my case I have a home listing regional products
Kinda "Widgets in My Country"

The main internal pages are kinda "Region1 widgets" "Region2 widgets"

And people sarch for "region1 widgets" instead "Country widgets"

So I wonder if need to get:

1) All incoming links to www.mysite.com using anchor text linke "country widgets"

2) All incoming links to www.mysite.com using anchor text linke "region1 widgets" "region2 widgets"

3) All incoming links to my internal main pages using anchor text linke "region1 widgets"

4) Half incoming links to my internal main pages using anchor text linke "region1 widgets" and half incoming links to home using "region2 widgets"

5) Half incoming links to my internal main pages using anchor text linke "region1 widgets" and half incoming links to home using "country widgets"

I can't get tons of incoming links so I need to focus in something. Please comment about it. Thanks!

First off you can get a lot of links! :) Don't think like that or you will never be nothing on the web.

You should get links both to your homepage and other web pages that are important. You want the search engines to be able to come in from different areas of your site, so they can spider your site better and deeper.

Thanks. Yes we all want our sites to be deep crawled by SE but that hasn't anything to do with where your incoming links point.

So condisider is a fact that we can't get tons of links to each page, what would be the best? to strenght the home or the rest. BTW the question involved anchor texts too.

Can some please comment about it?

After you get a good ranking for one of your keywords you should move on to other keywords. Like I said you should not focus on just the homepage, I was just pointing out that it would help getting spider. I was not saying you needed tons of links to each page, but links to few of your deeper pages. Getting spider is very important in building a theme for your site.

And yes, it will pass popularity to the rest of your pages. It's not best to just get links to one page.

Do you mean getting some few links to my deep pages help spiders to find those pages too?
Does that make sense? I though once a spider came, it will crawl your site anyway even if you have links to your main page only...

Should anchor incoming links text match exactly the keywords of your page?

Yes!

If the site is to large it may not be found or can take months to get all of your pages spidered.

Should anchor incoming links text match exactly the keywords of your page?

Yes!

Take also your sote architecture into consideration:
-do you have a hyrachical, looping or interlinking website?
In the first case the mome page with inbound links have ahigher PR
the second case is bad IMHO
the third case will spread the PR evenly to all pages, but th PR off the home page is lower then in first case, insite pages higher then first case.

If I'm seeing a lot of these in my webstats, this must be a good sign.
