When it comes to obtaining paid or bartered links, the focus is often on the anchor text. Immediately a webmaster will request their top keyword linked to the homepage. Or wisely a secondary keyword linked to its corresponding internal optimized landing page. This is industry standard, right? You want to rank higher for that keyword, so you get links with that keyword!

A link-buying wise webmaster would say that should be done most or half of the time. There are other things to use. You should mainly use your URL, as this is an utterly natural term one would link. Almost always, natural links link from anchor text starting with “www.”

If Suzy Blogger were writing about this fantastic site she found that has every type of bicycle seat cover ever made in every fabric and color and size, she is likely not going to link “bicycle seat covers”; she going to say “I found this great site www.bicycleseatcovers.com and I love their selection of seat covers” This is natural. Also you can link your business name sometimes. I know (I hope) you already rank #1 for your actual business name, but you are really just trying to add credibility to your link profile with this tactic.

You will not want to show a spike of artificial links, if you are stepping over Googl’s boundaries. The best application of this would be when you are obtaining large amounts of lower quality links, such as blog articles. Make sure you mix up the anchor text. Your site will be helped overall by the quantity of incoming links, more than worrying about exact anchor text. Keep it real, by throwing out a few logical site mentions or specific product mentions.

Think about the handful of truly natural (unpaid) fantastic high PR links you have obtained, just from being a wonderful site or your business connections. Maybe you spoke at a high profile convention and the site gave you a link. Maybe you are a supplier of a national brand and you are listed on their site. What words are linked? Surely not “cheap socks” is typed in on the agenda of the seminar. Your company name is the link. And you KNOW you are getting authority from that PR7 link, regardless of the anchor text. They are all incoming links, all are still valuable in the big picture, and natural links will keep you safe and offer long term rewards.
