Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Agreed, and also the reason I asked this, I haven't come across this kind of proof yet.

I would think Google, will distinguish incontent keywords from the ones in link anchor texts, but I'd like to be a little more sure on that..

The page with the most info docs contains 55 links to those info docs, 38 of them have the keyword in the anchor.

I wouldn't know how to list them elsewhere, while still letting them support the product page.. Maybe I'll have to try to remove the keyword out most of the anchors, as mr. Weiss suggests..

My seo strategy relies heavily on a lot of great relevant content on the domain. To achieve this, I have a section with 'information docs' on each product page. They are lists with links to informational pages relevant to the product.

For instance;

domain.com/apples/

On this product page there are 30 links to articles;

domain.com/apples/how-to-store/
domain.com/apples?recipes/

etc.

The anchor texts of these links are the titles of these articles, so on the product page the list of links looks like this:

How to store apples
Recipes with apples

etc.

Question: Are those keywords in the links (apples) counted as onpage keyword usage an can it be seen as keyword stuffing by Google?

Thanks a lot.
