Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - Multiple, sitewide Links with same anchortext

MarketingLady · 09-03-2004, 12:19 AM

We provide at the moment a ecommerce site, which is gone May 2004 online; main optimization is for a one-word-keyword, let's say widget and the plural form widgets. Our domain is something like widget-park.tld . The terms the site is optimized for, are highly competitive (6 / 8 Million Serps).
Our backlinks are almost all from themebased, highly ranked sites on these terms (singular and plural) and Adwords-like single-links (!), that means not in footers. Single links on not themed sites are with a highly diversified anchortext, something like "Occasion Park", "Best Widgets Offers", etc. A week ago we buyed a textbased advertising on a themebased site (listed on Googles second site for the plural of widget, that mens widgets). Unfortunately the owner of the site, who works with a open-source CMS is not able to place our link only on one site, but sitewide. Therefore we "dilluated" the anchortext of the link to | Best online widgets |. This page linking to us has about 20 000 sites in Google, so our link with the same linktext will appear on 20 000 sites, but as I said absolutely themebased. Do you think that could trigger a penalty or filter for our site ? Or do you think that could trigger a filter only for the whole anchortext, so for "Best online widgets" ?

Site (respectively new links pointing to) is still sandboxed.

I appreciate your answers.
