Branded Links : But not got any ranking..

[globalitsoft]

Hi there.

I'm SEO expert myself. I am building quality and authority backlinks with branded anchor text. My website has now over 1.5k backlinks with branded anchor text and generic keywords. But my website still not showing in SERPS with my targeted niche or anchor text.

Do i need to build backlinks with exact match anchor text if yes then how much?

Thanks in advance.

How many links exist with anchor text like HERE, Click Here, See Now, Click to See etc.?

This will be critical to have in the mix and is part of a natural linking scheme.   It seems as if some of your generic keyword terms would have to have exact match keywords, correct?  You are still not ranking for anything?  Are your links on sites and pages relevant to target?  Are they on penalized sites?  If you have 1500 back links and nothing showing up in the SERPS I think you need to make more use of the disavow tool than you do more time back linking.

I have sites with 10 back links scoring well on local or low competition words.  I would wonder the condition of your robots.txt file and what meta tags you have such as any rel=noindex etc.

If all of that is in order I would ask the quality of the content.  Are you writing content or scraping it?  Using spun articles? Have a shallow site of just a couple pages with 3%+ keyword distribution and high html to text ratio?

I can't be exactly sure but I would venture to guess your situation has nothing to do with needing to crank out more back links.

Link building is not only about branded and generic anchor texts, of course you should try to get some links with keyword rich anchor text. There are a lot of useful resources on the MOZ blog about this, here is a recent one: http://moz.com/blog/how-to-build-links-to-your-blog-a-case-study

Also you should make sure you have good on-page optimization for each of the pages on your website, after doing good keyword research.

I would have to say that I would test out two things 1st.

Your robots.txt

use a tool like this it will let you know if there's any thing extra in your robot text that may be to plug-ins have allowed to stay and you're not seeing it. Another reason you can be blocking yourself and not know it is some content delivery networks allow you to control the robot text through them so if you are using one you may want to check that out as well Max CDN is notorious for this

if you find an issue and it is a hard one I would use screaming frog along with Seer interactive's guide

however if for whatever reason it is not a fluke and you are really not showing up on Google the 1st thing I would do is check Google webmaster tools for a notification.

I have to agree with David on a lot of what's been said. If it is not a block from your site itself and you're not showing up it is most likely an issue with that back links.

Run your site through tools below to check your back links for anything that is not relevant or a very low quality

In terms of links and link profile diversity, I recommend you study the top ten competitors in your niche, with a close focus on the top 3. Consider their backlinks, quality and diversity.

A competitive link histogram is helpful in fully visualizing the types of links that competitors have:

By anchor text
By DA (domain authority)

We generally create a minimum of two, one for each of those areas, and then study then.

This gives you specific averages with which you can focus on more closely in your campaign to shape it closer to naturalization, or get a better picture on what Google wants to see in your specific niche, or what is working.

Also, be very sure to rule our on-site and / or other issues at the same time.

Hope this helps!
