Anchor text, same page, different kewords to same URLs
-
Could someone please tell how Google treats the use of anchor text from a single page when using different keywords that all point to the same URL.
So for instance I am doing a blog post and use the following anchor text which all point to the same URL:
Cool Widget >> www.domain.com/widget
Awesome Widget >> www.domain.com/widget
Mighty Widget >> www.domain.com/widget
I have read that Google will only take noticeof the first one?
Thanks

Thanks Wissam, that's cleared that up.
On my blog page I don't have the same URL so it will count it in the body text.
Many Thanks

yes Asif,
Google will pass the anchor text from the first one
please note , that if www.domain.com/widget is linked from top nav it will use it first

Description tag not showing in the SERPs because page is blocked by Robots, but the page isn't blocked. Any help?
While checking some SERP results for a few pages of a site this morning I noticed that some pages were returning this message instead of a description tag, A description for this result is not avaliable because of this site's robot.s.txt The odd thing is the page isn't blocked in the Robots.txt. The page is using Yoast SEO Plugin to populate meta data though. Anyone else had this happen and have a fix?

Is it still worth changing a url with half the pages target keyphrase in to the entire phrase still ?
Hi If a pages url has half the pages target keyphrase (i.e. 1 word instead of 2) is it still worth changing to include entire keyphrase (2 words) given need to then add 301 redirects etc after ? If it was a new page then I would definately include full keyphrase but the page is a few months old and has quite high page authority as is (i know a 301 should transfer most authority) but given this page and other sub pages would also need to be 301'd if this change occurs and the dev time/cost that would incurred/charged by the design/dev agency. Also thinking Google being cleverer now (the pages content will be about the target kw) so thinking G would work it out from rest of page content and partial match kw in url. In other words to best target keyphrase is it best to leave url as is or change url to include keyphrase ? For example if the pages target kw is 'swimming clubs' and the current url is www.franksleisurecentres.com/clubs changing it to www.franksleisurecentres.com/swimming-clubs :Thanks Dan
