I can change the linsk yes.

Pretty relevant yes for booking in the year.

Hi guys i wanted you views on changing the anchor text of links.

I have quality links coming in but with year terms such as 2012 in there, if i want to change them all to 2013 for example would it be badly seen by Google?

I cant say i feel comfortable about doing it but they are my links and are related to our products.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thankyou for the reply.

Forgive me if i am a little unsympathetic but time after time i see keyword domains ranking for huge terms but the site itself offers very little in terms of quality content and user experience.

Yes it is annoying to many online search marketers who try very hard and provide natural quality content to be out ranked by a keyword domain because a particular search engine has a bias towards exact match.

No offence but in my opinion the sooner we see keyword domains getting treated the same as any - the sooner we will see a better quality of results.

Forgive me if you are one of the people  who produce quality sites on your keyword domain, i respect you if you do.

It's one of those domains setup for that keyword only by the looks of it.

The keyword is pretty much their brand term.

Thankyou for the reply.

One of our big competitors has a huge youtube presence. I alwayus wondered how much of an affect having an active youtube channel can have. What do you think to that?

Thankyou for your advice.

Has anyone here managed to beat a keyword/exact match domain to top spot?

I am currently second and wondering if it is worth the time and effort to knock it off the top spot. How hard is it to get these very annoyingly favoured domains off 1st?

Any help and advice much appreciated.

Hi everyone, an interesting question here. How do you determien what link volume you should try and get into your website?

What analysis do you do to determine the number of links you feel is right to go into a back-link profiel every month? obviously there is no magic number but its an interesting question to know what others do.

Obviously you don't want to build too many or too little.

If you have been penalised for bad links in the past and are now back on track - how do you calculate the volume?

Do you take links dropping out into consideration?
