Over Optimised Anchor Text

[GardenGamer]

Hi. We are new to the seomoz community so just getting the hange of it. We have run a few reports and found that we have to many links with the eaxct match anchor text. We are as a result we feel penalised and held back at no.7 or lower. There doesn't seem to be any other logical explanations why aren't higher besides that.

What would the best way to deal with this over optimisation issue?

Thanks

When link building, try to create an even and natural distribution of anchor texts.  Supplement your distribution strategy with anchors that use you domain name and brand as these types of links are most commonly allowed by webmasters and appear natural.
