Anchor Text
Anchor Text
• More Sites that “Link” to Your Site With Relevant Anchor Text, = More “Votes”
• On a Site Selling Used Ford Cars With a lot of Links Pointing to it That Use Anchor Text "Used Ford Cars," the Anchor Text is Likely to Help the Page's Rankings For Related Search Terms
• The Bots “See” The Links and Anchor Text, Recognize the Similarities, Assign Your Content “Authority” Elevating it in the Index as Relevant for Searches for “Used Ford Cars”
Copyright 2010 - Alan Glazier, OD, FAAO - All Rights Reserved
Temporal Factors for Links and Anchors
• When Did the Link First Appear? • When Did the Link Disappear? • How Long Has the Link Existed? • Drastic Changes in Rate of Link Acquisition Could Also be a
Significant Negative Sign to Bots – Red Flag. • Do Rapid Changes in Amount of Links Reflect a Link Buying
Campaign Gone Wild? Red Flag Or has the site suddenly become newsworthy?

Web 3.0 Search• Understood Influencers Online Were Those Creating the Best, Most
Informative Content- Bloggers

So . . .
