      Hello, I am a small website designer in Mexico.. as you know it is hard to rank in these keywords My main competitors appear with (diseño web = web design) on google.com.mx Almost 80% of the anchor text from my links are (diseño web Mexico =web design Mexico) If I search (diseño web Mexico =web design) on google.com.mx I appear on first page. If I search (diseño web = web design) on google.com.mx I appear on page 3. My questions: Is this because my anchor text is diseño web Mexico? should i change it to (diseño web = web design)? Or is it because (diseño web = web design) is a harder key word to rank? this is my website http://bit.ly/eKyWvr Regards

        Build anchor text for both! Try to diversify your anchor text so it doesn't look so artificial to Google. Learn about the JC Penny story and their link building strategies. They got busted by Google for obvious link building (perfect anchor text nearly 100% of the time). But to answer your question, most likely it's your anchor text.

            It's 2011, not 2006. Google may think your site is outdated.

                Like that.
