Quick Question About Exact Matched Keyword Domain
-
if you have lets say tools.examplexxxx.com in which "tools" + "example" makes a good keyword together i.e [example tools] (a good key word). Is it wise to put 300 quality backlinks with exact matched anchor text containing keyword**[example tools]** from niche related domains and not worrying getting hit by penguin.

I mean that no more than 50% of your links should have KW anchor text.

Thanks John for your answer I understand what you are saying but I dont't understand one thing that Aaron Wall of Seo Book.com has more than 300 back links with anchor text Free SEO Tools to tools.seobook.com but still he is not sued after post penguin update...so I concluded that might be google is linent in your use of anchor text if you have both the keyword in ur domain in this case "tools" + "seo"

Yes everything was so the people said here was true. However I don't know why one person suggested you are building spamming links that seems strange that they would know that the information. However I have a rule that has worked very well for me post penguin and it is true about the 50-50 your domain let's take mine for example blueprintmarketing.com when you are building links you should never have to worry about counting otherwise Google regardless of the 50-50 rule may catch on if it looks spamming and it quacks spam you got issues including Google picking up on natural link building. And the matter what you do do not ping all of your links at once release them over slow point in time obviously Google is used as seeing links built by people putting their name, e-mail URL so you can use your URL or your name. My domain is somewhat of a exact match domain. I do not know what Google has in store for us but I do know it's only getting tougher. build link in a blog or in the main content area of the website. Take the link with the most authority I would use SEOmoz & Majestic SEO or just Raven tools to find out your highest authority inbound link and use the anchor text on those that use it very sparingly.
I hope I have been of help.
Sincerely,
Thomas von Zickell

Thanks @Igor I will check it right now..thanks once again for helping me

You are absolutely right @Darek I think exact keyword matched domain can be risky in near future but I guess not if you have only half of the two words keyword in your root domain. Also I think those domains like medicalbillingsoftware.xxx might be in trouble in future... but you cant say anything...
A majority of your anchor text should be branded.
What if you have half of the keyword in your brand name itself

Hi,
Here is a white board friday video which talks about anchor text diversity:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/all-about-anchor-text-whiteboard-friday
There was an article I saw on SEOMOZ, but can't find it now that gives a percentage of different type of anchor text to use in your links, it was something like this from what I remember:
30% links with anchor text to include keyword
30% links with anchor text to include domain name
40% links with anchor text to include brand
-
It is best practice to diversify your anchor text even if the links are from quality sites. Not only to avoid being hit by penguin but to help rank your site for a variety of search terms.
A majority of your anchor text should be branded.
Also, having an exact match keyword domain can be risky, although I still do see exact match keyword domains still ranking well. If you do have exact match domain, I would continue creating quality content on site and obtaining good linkbacks to avoid any future algorithm changes.

Thanks @CMC for replying so fast.... can you please elaborate a little on "you need to keep KW anchor text below 50%".... 50% of wat?
Thanks in adv

Well, first of all, if you control all those links, they're probably not "quality." Second, collective wisdom suggests that post-Penguin, you need to keep KW anchor text below 50%. So if you're building 300 links, they can't all have "example tools" as the anchor text.

Backlinks Question
Hi all, i own a small business in an extremely competitive marketplace. I have also educated myself greatly about seo over the past 3 years and currently do my own. The one thing I cannot figure out, for the life of me, is how my two competitors keep beating me in rankings without backlinks. I mean, I have about 3K solid backlinks, mostly do follow, from top notch publications, sites, citations ect. In ahref, it shows that he has almost no backlinks. I cannot crack th third spot, but they dominate with zero backlinks, and the domains are only a bit older than mine. Thoughts on this?

SEO for a Product Domain
Hello there, I wanted to thank you all in advance, you have been very helpful with your insights so far. One of our clients is starting a new domain for a specific product he has. The client is providing his products in canada/usa. (For exemple, let's stay "nike.com"(company) just launched "jordan.com"(line of product) and wanted to rank "jordan.com" higher. I was thinking about starting with citations for the new domain/product. The thing is, since its a product, it feels wierd to do citations as usual and start a GMB account. In your opinion, what is the best way to start SEO with a product specific domain? Is citation or GMB still a good idea?

Website title has domain name in SERPS but not in the website.
We are using the latest version of Wordpress for one of our website. Now every page in SERPS is like this: SEO Services, Link Building and Social Media - Oursite.com But when we look at our website's title tag its like this: <title>SEO Services, Link Building and Social Media</title> It's very strange, why the website's domain name is appended to the title in SERPS?? Any ideas? Thanks!

Has there been a change in the Competitive Domain Analysis?
I've noted the total number of links has dropped drastically on multiple reports. Is there something new in the Competitive Domain Report or is it really just my clients? Also I've noticed that all of my clients have seen slight decreases in MozTrust - is this related to your reports analysis of panda? Thanks!!
