Quick Question About Exact Matched Keyword Domain
-
if you have lets say tools.examplexxxx.com in which "tools" + "example" makes a good keyword together i.e [example tools] (a good key word). Is it wise to put 300 quality backlinks with exact matched anchor text containing keyword**[example tools]** from niche related domains and not worrying getting hit by penguin.
-
I mean that no more than 50% of your links should have KW anchor text.

Thanks John for your answer I understand what you are saying but I dont't understand one thing that Aaron Wall of Seo Book.com has more than 300 back links with anchor text Free SEO Tools to tools.seobook.com but still he is not sued after post penguin update...so I concluded that might be google is linent in your use of anchor text if you have both the keyword in ur domain in this case "tools" + "seo"

Yes everything was so the people said here was true. However I don't know why one person suggested you are building spamming links that seems strange that they would know that the information. However I have a rule that has worked very well for me post penguin and it is true about the 50-50 your domain let's take mine for example blueprintmarketing.com when you are building links you should never have to worry about counting otherwise Google regardless of the 50-50 rule may catch on if it looks spamming and it quacks spam you got issues including Google picking up on natural link building. And the matter what you do do not ping all of your links at once release them over slow point in time obviously Google is used as seeing links built by people putting their name, e-mail URL so you can use your URL or your name. My domain is somewhat of a exact match domain. I do not know what Google has in store for us but I do know it's only getting tougher. build link in a blog or in the main content area of the website. Take the link with the most authority I would use SEOmoz & Majestic SEO or just Raven tools to find out your highest authority inbound link and use the anchor text on those that use it very sparingly.
I hope I have been of help.
Sincerely,
Thomas von Zickell

Thanks @Igor I will check it right now..thanks once again for helping me

You are absolutely right @Darek I think exact keyword matched domain can be risky in near future but I guess not if you have only half of the two words keyword in your root domain. Also I think those domains like medicalbillingsoftware.xxx might be in trouble in future... but you cant say anything...
A majority of your anchor text should be branded.
What if you have half of the keyword in your brand name itself

Hi,
Here is a white board friday video which talks about anchor text diversity:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/all-about-anchor-text-whiteboard-friday
There was an article I saw on SEOMOZ, but can't find it now
that gives a percentage of different type of anchor text to use in your links, it was something like this from what I remember:
30% links with anchor text to include keyword
30% links with anchor text to include domain name
40% links with anchor text to include brand
-
It is best practice to diversify your anchor text even if the links are from quality sites. Not only to avoid being hit by penguin but to help rank your site for a variety of search terms.
A majority of your anchor text should be branded.
Also, having an exact match keyword domain can be risky, although I still do see exact match keyword domains still ranking well. If you do have exact match domain, I would continue creating quality content on site and obtaining good linkbacks to avoid any future algorithm changes.

Thanks @CMC for replying so fast.... can you please elaborate a little on "you need to keep KW anchor text below 50%".... 50% of wat?
Thanks in adv

Well, first of all, if you control all those links, they're probably not "quality." Second, collective wisdom suggests that post-Penguin, you need to keep KW anchor text below 50%. So if you're building 300 links, they can't all have "example tools" as the anchor text.

Backlinks from the Same Domain (But Different Pages)
Wayyy back when (in the days of yore) Mr Cutts spelled out in a video that page rank is distributed equally between the external links on the page. If there are two links on a page, each gets passed 50% of the available page rank etc. (Perhaps an oversimplification but bear with me). As a result of this, the company I worked for at the time (this was the dark ages when sidebar homepage links were in vogue) decreed that we would only ever approach a site about a link for a client once, as additional links had little extra SEO Value. Now you could argue that if there are 5 external links, each acquiring 20% of the power, and your site has 2 of those, you are getting 40% of the power, but lets forget the basic math for a minute. I have scoured the web and Mr Cutts' videos and I cannot find the answer to my question: If my site (Site A) has a backlink from SiteB Page 1, and a backlink from SiteB page 2 - does this count as two separate links in the eyes of Google? If the SAME site links out to my site, linking to different pages in different posts, does this give me more SEO benefit? Thanks for your time!

SEO Question
If you Google - "San Diego DUI Lawyer" (a competitive term), this guys site comes up: sandiegoduiattorneys.weebly.com/san-diego-dui-lawyer.html Run his site in Opensite Explorer and you won't believe the results. This guy somehow has as much domain authority as Facebook, and maybe more than Moz. How is this possible? How is he getting all those links from random Weebly sites? I'm not saying I want to copy him, but I think it's highly problematic that somehow that site has been rigged to get all that link juice. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Keyword Alt text in Links
I am wondering about alt text in links. My website was ranking in the top 1-5 position for all my main keywords from 2006-2012. I took a big hit in april 2012 and my rankings tanked with the penguin update. I've really just left seo alone for the past year as I assumed my rankings would come back, obviously not. I am still ranked 90-120 for my main keyword a year later, other keywords I am still ranked between position #7-11 which I am happy enough with. I did not receive any warnings from google so I'm not de-listed and don't have a manual penalty. My main problem was if someone wanted to link to my site I just asked them to use the exact same alt text in the link pointing to my site. So after using seomoz explorer I see I have just over 2700 links which Is great because I never approached anyone for links I just told them the alt text I wanted when anyone approached me, which shows people felt my site was good. My main problem is I have 600 of the 2700 links with the exact same alt text. Should I use the disavow tool to remove links with that key word phrase? Would that help? I look forward to any help with this. Thanks.

Question about 302 re-direct
Hi, I have noticed a competitor of mine is using 302 redirects to his website. It seems to me that he is buying a huge amout of domains and linking to his own website though this. I have never noticed anyone else do this before and wondered what people's views are on this?
