      1) What anchor text should be used? For instance, German Shepherd figurines from "domain name" ?

      1. Should the link go the the home page of the "domain name: or the page about German Shepherds?

      2. Should the clickable link be German Shepherd figurines or the "domain name" home page ?

      4)should the clickable link be the "domain name" page name leading to the German Shepherd page?

      Thanks

      Mike

        What is the context of the link and where will it appear? Is it on an internal page or an external page? If it's external, is this in a blog post,  a comment on a blog post, a business listing or a directory, or something else? Is there a lot of surrounding text? If so are there other keyword links, or none?

        This is a great question that shows something I am sure we are all spending a lot more time thinking about post-Penguin and Panda!

          It would be on the home page of a blog on the right side. The only text would be the ad in which would look something like this.

          German Shepherd Figurines From "domain name"

          Thanks

            Thanks Mike. Understood. I think your anchor text is fine. Have you considered adding the word "Find" or "Shop" or "Buy" to it? Like this:

            Shop German Shepherd Figurines from MyDomain.com

            I'd make the whole string one big hyperlink. You are clearly signaling to the user where they are going and what they can do there. I don't think there's anything spammy about that.

            Then, I would link directly to the German Shepherd Figurines page.

            I hope that's helpful!
