Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - Does Google "cluster" themes for results?

Thanks for the comments, folks. I am definitely going to have to go back and really tackle this from the ground up, and far more aggressively.

Certainly will look to modify anchor text with on-topc keywords close by.

Actually, the number of backlinks has always seemed irrelevant - I used to link extensively to it from my chronicles-network (off-topic site), and at one point I'm sure there were around a 800 backlinks showing because of it - yet the ranking has always remained steady at site 11-13 in the SERPs. Maybe it's because of the B&P algo.

I could be in error with my percpetions - but, either way, I'm going to take a closer look at ALLTheWeb's clusters, and try out a couple of experiments with backlink themes and accompanying keywords with anchor text.
