Quick Question About Exact Matched Keyword Domain

[ksbnok]

if you have lets say tools.examplexxxx.com in which "tools" + "example" makes a good keyword together i.e [example tools] (a good key word). Is it wise to put 300 quality backlinks with exact matched anchor text containing keyword**[example tools]**  from niche related domains and not worrying getting hit by penguin.

Well, first of all, if you control all those links, they're probably not "quality." Second, collective wisdom suggests that post-Penguin, you need to keep KW anchor text below 50%. So if you're building 300 links, they can't all have "example tools" as the anchor text.

Thanks @CMC for replying so fast.... can you please elaborate a little on "you need to keep KW anchor text below 50%".... 50% of wat?

Thanks in adv

It is best practice to diversify your anchor text even if the links are from quality sites. Not only to avoid being hit by penguin but to help rank your site for a variety of search terms.

A majority of your anchor text should be branded.

Also, having an exact match keyword domain can be risky, although I still do see exact match keyword domains still ranking well. If you do have exact match domain, I would continue creating quality content on site and obtaining good linkbacks to avoid any future algorithm changes.

Hi,

Here is a white board friday video which talks about anchor text diversity:

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/all-about-anchor-text-whiteboard-friday

There was an article I saw on SEOMOZ, but can't find it now that gives a percentage of different type of anchor text to use in your links, it was something like this from what I remember:

30% links with anchor text to include keyword

30% links with anchor text to include domain name

40% links with anchor text to include brand

You are absolutely right @Darek I think exact keyword matched domain can be risky in near future but I guess not if you have only half of the two words keyword in your root domain. Also I think those domains like medicalbillingsoftware.xxx might be in trouble in future... but you cant say anything...

A majority of your anchor text should be branded.

What if you have half of the keyword in your brand name itself

Yes everything was so the people said here was true. However I don't know why one person suggested you are building spamming links that seems strange that they would know that the information. However I have a rule that has worked very well for me post penguin and it is true about the 50-50 your domain let's take mine for example blueprintmarketing.com when you are building links you should never have to worry about counting otherwise Google regardless of the 50-50 rule may catch on if it looks spamming and it quacks spam you got issues including Google picking up on natural link building. And the matter what you do do not ping all of your links at once release them over slow point in time obviously Google is used as seeing links built by people putting their name, e-mail URL so you can use your URL or your name. My domain is somewhat of a exact match domain. I do not know what Google has in store for us but I do know it's only getting tougher. build link in a blog or in the main content area of the website. Take the link with the most authority I would use SEOmoz & Majestic SEO or just Raven tools to find out your highest authority inbound link and use the anchor text on those that use it very sparingly.

I hope I have been of help.

Sincerely,

Thomas von Zickell

Thanks John for your answer I understand what you are saying but I dont't understand one thing that Aaron Wall of Seo Book.com has more than 300 back links with anchor text Free SEO Tools to tools.seobook.com but still he is not sued after post penguin update...so I concluded that might be google is linent in your use of anchor text if you have both the keyword in ur domain in this case "tools" + "seo"

I mean that no more than 50% of your links should have KW anchor text.
