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 vs multiple domains
Hello, Our main website is setup on a .com domain and a .ca is setup as a 301 Permanent redirection to the .com. We just signed up to Majestic and found that we had a bunch of backlink linking to the .ca instead of the .com. My question is, is the SEO juice (for DA) being passed by from the .ca to the .com or I should start contacting those websites to get the backlink changed to .com? Thanks

Transferring inbound links to new domains
Hi, I've recently changed domains and have redirected all traffic from the old site to the new one. The problem is that none of my built links for the old domain are showing up for the new domain (I use moz.com/researchtools/ose/) I've read a few articles saying it's best practice to get in touch with the people that are linking to your old website to let them know the address has changed. When I search for my old domain using moz.com/researchtools/ose/ it says there is 0 established links. I know this isn't the case as I've visited one of the sites that does still list this domain. Is there a way of getting a list of my old domain's backlinks so I can contact them? I didn't make a list before redirecting. Thank you.

Link building too quickly
Hi all, I have recently started trialing to outsource some SEO to a 3rd party, who obviously promissed white hat techniques and manual links etc.. All has gone well for the first month. But on speeking to another expert they point out that the search engines will spot inconcistencies in link building and penalise me. I know there will not be a know ammount but as we stand at the moment, what is the current feeling of too fast. Links built for me in one month were 100 directory submissions 80 bookmarks 16 search engine submissions 15 Article submissions 46 forum links 10 local classified searches Is this too fast? , If to do I stop and create more inconsistency or continue at a similar rate. Of course quality of link will be an issue, but how much. Many thanks from SEO jnr

Building on Brand for a keyword heavy domain with bad backlink profile
The domain is keyword heavy think along the lines of "mountainbikes.com" and they are ranking ok for mountain bikes, however on inspection they have a LOT of poor quality back links and a lot of those links are anchor text phrases (and far too much of it!). A lot of people recommend building on brand in situations like this, however how would I go about doing this for a site without a branded domain name? In this case their is a company name but it's not the same as the domain name, would you simply build links using the company name "Uber Bikes" or use the domain www.mountainbikes.com. If the aim is just to build a more varied back link profile then I guess using both would be good? Thanks in advance! 🙂

Get a new domain?
Hey, I have a niche website which ranked quite good in the beginning (especially image search). I published new posts every other day and also new links. Since around six months this site doesnt rank at all anymore (page 5) and I'm not sure if I should get a new domain, republish the articles and 301 all links. Would that make sense or is it better to start a new site from scratch? Thanks!
