Hi Tess,

Thanks for your comments I appreciate it. I also believe good on site optimisation is essential but if you are chasing a high traffic broad keyword then, in my opinion, it is all abou the links.

Very interesting research you conducted! I have read so much about increasing page rank, visitors, etc. I do believe that good on-site content that is properly optimized for key terms and phrases is crucial, along with lots of good quality backlinks. Also, adding fresh content occasionally to your website seems to give it a boost.

Thanks so much – I enjoyed your post:)

@Mark,

Thanks for the input. When you talk about beneficial anchor text, do you mean optimising internal links? I link back to my homepage from every post using a target keyword, this has helped me rank for terms I haven’t even targeted in external links.

One of the things that really stood out in this testing was the amount of juice coming from site wide links, I was under the impression Google were putting less emphasis on them, guess not.

sounds good, tho when you’re working at the tip of the sword every competative edge you can get against the competitors is a bonus.

I recently ranked a site into the top 3 for its 2 word term with just 14 IBLs this was mainly due to the structure and content on the site… so dont forget to add this into your equation. one of the things i find most useful is making the internal anchor text uniform i.e. pages are only linked to using benefical anchor text, everything else is removed (a trick from wikipedia) and this works brilliantly!

to get your link building going as quick as possible go for low hanging fruit, social media profiles where you can bulk out the page with keyword rich content and control the anchor text, and dont forget to get a nice username and build links to your profile by contributing to the community

Hi Porter,

Ye the anchor text has always played a vital role, one thing I didn’t mention in the article was that the metrics were based on anchor variations and not the exact text, I found out some interesting anchor text results which I will publish later this month, it seems anchor variations are been given a lot more weight than they once were.

That’s a whole lot of stats, glad it boils down to anchor text though, that’s what my gut has always told me was most important. Nice article, thanks for the very in depth explanation.
