Quote:Is anchor text still a big deal? Do you ever buy low quality links just for anchor text?
Yes I believe anchor text is still a big deal and yes occasionally I use low quality links for anchors. There are always handfuls on the lists I buy, I cant help that. As long as theyre in Googles and Yahoos index, its fine and Ill use them.
I know there is a thought process out there that says get links from a wide variety of sites since it emulates a natural linking pattern but I dont purposely design a strategy to include a certain number of low quality links. I figure the scrapers will be by in due time and Ill see some links from them so thats enough junk for me.
That said I do keep an eye on the types of sites Im extending my special promotions to and will eliminate a site from my list if its not indexed or hosts links to an objectionable site. For me, this is one of the most time consuming parts of link building checking partner sites for compatibility.
