Inbound Anchor Text Percentages

What do you need to not trip a filter?

Suppose you're starting a new loans site from scratch in a country that doesn't have much SEO going on - even on financial SERPs.

The same older sites are ranking for each KW & currently have 300-600 unique inbound links with minimal anchor text-rich links. For this discussion, the main target KWs are:

> home loans
> car loans
> wedding loans
> boat loans

The company is called "Acme Loans"
Their site is acmeloans.cc.tld (& hosted locally)

Q) What anchor text % breakdown would look "natural" for Acme to dominate while avoiding penalties?

My thinking is:

> acme home loans = 15%
> acme car loans = 15%
> acme boat loans = 5%
> acme wedding loans = 5%

> home loans = 5%
> car loans = 5%
> boat loans = 5%
> wedding loans = 5%

> www.acmeloans.cc.tld = 20%
> acme = 10%

> loans = 5%
> click here = 3%
> here = 2%

I'm also thinking of approx 100 links per month from when the site launches.

What are the obvious flaws here?

It's difficult to say with any certainly, because each genre (and website) is different in response to targeted anchors.

I would suggest you spend some time in competitive analysis to find out what the top three websites for each of those queries has in terms of trust factors that are causing them to rank where they are first and foremost. You will gain tons of insight doing this, and may find that by nature, trying to duplicate some of the link set that these websites have might naturally forge your percentage patterns for you.

Hadn't thought of that - thx for the good tip.
