How to have an internal call to action with an anchor that employs the correct internal linking practices?
-
I wanted to put a call to action in my internal profiles, but I'm not able to get out of the classic "check out" and "learn more" links.
Right now the best copy I've been able to come up with is:
<nickname>is using StyleJam for his web design portfolio - check out the benefits </nickname>
Where "check out the benefits" is a link to my home page.
I wanted to understand first of all how important this is, and second what techniques you use for internal calls to action.
TIA.

Sorry guys, I haven't been clear. The link is to my homepage which is not a design portfolio, but a hosting platform for design portfolios
The homepage linked explains the benefits and features you're gonna have when using it to host your web design portfolio. -
Internal keyword rich anchor text can help with your SEO strategy, but I think in this case since you're linking to portfolio pages on your website if I understand correctly. I think a better keyword rich anchor text would be to have anchor text be "<nickname>web design portfolio" which could link to your home page. Your home page is going to be the best place to employ your strong call to action, which I believe is handled well by allowing users to enter their email address to apply for beta. This would be what I would use:</nickname>
<a href=""><nicname>'s web design portfolio</nicname></a> - StyleJam showcases your portfolio

Does link have any value?
I recently received a link, but upon inspecting the page source on the site I did not see the link in the coding. Is this a link with any SEO value? Is google able to see this link? Note: Upon inspecting the actual link on the page, I do see coding with a followed link, but on the page source, only the actual table in which it is listed shows in the coding, with none of the content - including our link, showing.

Extremely high internal Links
While looking over a client’s monthly analytics, I noticed some oddities in the Links- competitive metrics. Although my clients leads in every category, they were still trailing in “total Links” to a competitor. That competitor has 25K links to our 1.9K. So I ran OpenSiteExplorer on the competitor and found that they had 25, 636 internal links. This is a very basic website, with only about 50 pages. It appears the links started building in January and just keep increasing. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas why they would do this?

Old links
I am looking to remove some old directory links that now look spammy. Some years ago the site was redesigned. The links are all to the old pages url, which is 301 redirected to the new. If we remove the 301 and let the page 404, will that suffice in Googles eyes?

I was looking for the best practice to use anchor tags...
Seomoz says NOT to use your anchor terms on other external pages as you will cannabilize your main page - this is news to me. Appreciate any input on this.

Value of Inbound Links to Pages With a lot of Outbound Links
Suppose you have a resource page of the Top 50 Awesome Sites in your niche. Since there are about 50 outbound links, then I would think there will be less Page Rank being passed to internal pages from internal links on the resource page. Since you are getting less PR passed to internal pages, are there other ways the inbound links can be beneficial, such as increasing the diversity of links of your domain? Sites like SEO Optimise seem to create a lot of Top 30 Resources lists and I have read that they think it is a strong tactic.

Link Ratio
Does Google (or other search engines) penalize websites if they have a too many inbound links from a single domain? (Say for instance, I have 500 inbound links, and 400 of them are from one root domain.)
