anchor text links with more than one keyword

Dustin07 · 03-22-2006, 03:33 PM

What if the number one keyword I was shoot for was "widgets".

but on a smaller level, I was also trying to gain results for

right angle widgets
smooth polished widgets
blue widgets

If I had anchor text links for "right angle smooth polished blue widgets" does the "widgets" carry value as if it were by itself... along with the other keywords? or is it better to keep specific keywords/phrases in their own links?

does what I said makes sense?

I would think that the keywords would have to be diluted.

Yes it does. I've targeted things like "smooth polished widgets" and I rank for that specifically along with just 1 or 2 of the words out of the phrase.

I have been doing this for quite some time, at least 2 years, before I knew better actually and discovered, unofficially and totally by accident, that not only can it work to break a new term into rankings, it works even better if I do it in the following manner.

My keywords are in a specific order I create based off of frequency of search level of competition, etc. the usual approach for determing keywords we use, nothing new there, but,

When I use multiple keywords as you demonstrated I use them in my predefined order with the hardest to rank for/most desired first and so on.
Ex:
#1 term = Widgets
#2 term = Red Widgets
#3 term = Red Polished Widgets

I start with using #3.
The eaiser #3 word will do better first, then the smaller two word #2, etc.

Anyway, I noticed that a long time ago like I said by accident.

In fact, I will often use it to break into a more competitive set of terms, the longer less competitive #3 gets picked up first then after time it seems to bring the more competitive #2 then finally the #1 up.

I say "seems to" because I cant say I have a documented experiment I can point to or share, but I have had it work that way for me for some time now, I still do it and have seen it work too many times for it to not have something going for it.

By the way, if possible, I use the same approach, rather I use it as the same time for any IBL's I can get, then as the 3 word term is successful I then go for the two word IBL, etc.

Hopefully I explained that well and it made some sense?

I am doing something similar to frank. However I am using more #2 and #3 level links based around my same main keyword/keywords.

Ok Hopefully I am understanding this correctly. If I am targeting "Cedar City Utah Real Estate" and "Cedar City Real Estate" I should start my linking campaign by getting backlinks with the anchor text "cedar city utah real estate" because those backlinks will also gain weight for "cedar city real estate". If I am totally off please tell me because I am rather new to this.

LOL, I read that as "I am totally pissed off" and I couldn't figure out why you were upset...

but yes, I'd say you are correct.
