I liked your post Ive never engaged in a speedlink post but having read yours, I can see that they are a nice way of reaching out – thanks again for the mention.

It’s always nice to be appreciated and valued. Good linking does just that.

I’ve just linked through here in a recent post, with anchor text that I hope is suitable.

Nothing inherently wrong with linking by blogname, Im just saying that if you wanted to, you could go that extra 10 yds and make it that little bit more relevant.

The mixing up of anchor text thing. Well, again just a personal opinion but if you think of it in terms of not everyone searches in the exact same way then you’ll begin to appreciate the benefits of mixing up the anchor text. Seo in Hitchin isn’t the same as Hitchin SEO or Seo Consultant in Hertfordshire or Hertfordshire SEO etc. By varying it, then overtime you’ll improve your scores on these Kw’s too.

Another side point too is to think in terms of natural linking patterns and avoiding things that might be viewed as blatant link text manipulation. If every single keyword into ones site was the same over and over and over, then it *could* be viewed as a possible attempt at trying to exploit the algorithm for that singular phrase and *could* result in some kind of negative.

I’m just wondering, though, “mixing up” anchor texts as you mentioned. Wouldn’t it be more effective for a blog to concentrate on just one set of anchor texts in order to maximize the number of links to it rather than have the links spread out among various anchor texts?
