How to have an internal call to action with an anchor that employs the correct internal linking practices?
-
I wanted to put a call to action in my internal profiles, but I'm not able to get out of the classic "check out" and "learn more" links.
Right now the best copy I've been able to come up with is:
<nickname>is using StyleJam for his web design portfolio - check out the benefits </nickname>
Where "check out the benefits" is a link to my home page.
I wanted to understand first of all how important this is, and second what techniques you use for internal calls to action.
TIA.

Sorry guys, I haven't been clear. The link is to my homepage which is not a design portfolio, but a hosting platform for design portfolios
The homepage linked explains the benefits and features you're gonna have when using it to host your web design portfolio.

Internal keyword rich anchor text can help with your SEO strategy, but I think in this case since you're linking to portfolio pages on your website if I understand correctly. I think a better keyword rich anchor text would be to have anchor text be "<nickname>web design portfolio" which could link to your home page. Your home page is going to be the best place to employ your strong call to action, which I believe is handled well by allowing users to enter their email address to apply for beta. This would be what I would use:</nickname>
<a href=""><nicname>'s web design portfolio</nicname></a> - StyleJam showcases your portfolio

Should I use Kenya all-inclusive accommodation, Kenya full board accommodation etc or I should be using the title without the destination name, all-inclusive accommodation, full board accommodation? My worry is if it will not be too much of Kenya in each title. Any advice what is the best practice? Thank you very much

Link building during link removal
We were advised by out outsourced link removal vendor not to build any links while they are removing links pointing to our site. I am worried that our site will lose significant traffic if we dont build any new links while waiting for them to remove links that caused our site to be penalized. What are your thoughts?

Advetorial links
How do you scientifically value advertorial links. I have a site who is willing to buy advertorial in large online sites which will contain links. (I would prefer they invested in content on their own site). The DA on these sites is universally extremely strong. the PA of the examples I've seen is pretty low. The site has strong DA matching it's main competition and is performing pretty well in terms of ranking. Question: how do you value this kind of link in terms of the amount of £ the publications want to charge. Anybody have a formula or a logical process which would provide solid advice rather than don't infringe Google's T&C's which I've already mentioned to them. Any thoughts appreciated.

Do No follow links from social media platforms transfer authority or value when they link to third party websites?
With social media playing a bigger role in SEO (since the Panda, Penguin updates etc) and how search engines rank sites now, does anybody know why Twitter for instance has 'no follow' when I check my client's websites under 'inbound links' on Open Site Explorer?

Many competitor's backlinks are in content anchor links. Ho do I get these same links?
Hi I managed to open up OSE. I'm finding that much of the competition's backlinks are in content anchor text links. Am I supposed to get backlinks from these same pages using the same anchor text but linking back to my page or is that allowed? If so, how do I get these in content blog post links? Thanks. Sunil.

Different Link Titles Linking to the same page
So I'm doing a lot of link building but my question is how do search engines treat different link titles to the same page. For example, my main page is www.musillawfirm.com If I have 20 links from 20 sites linking to it as Melbourne FL DUI Lawyer and 20 more linking as Melbourne FL immigration Lawyer and More linking as Cocoa FL DUI lawyer etc... what happens? Do the search engines just rank me higher for all the terms or would it be better to always just link to separate landing pages? Thanks in advance
