      Hi, I am new to SEO, may I know how many anchor text with a do-follow link I should aim for a 500-1000 words guest post? also, what is the percentage of different type of anchor text per post, e.g. ( 20%  Branded,  20% Exact-match,  20% Naked link and more?

      I know that quality is more important, but is there any magic number and the percentage I should really aim for?

      Kind regards

      CHRIS

        The truth is that no one knows, but greedy people often do get hit and stung by Google

        I certainly wouldn't exceed 20%. To be honest, I personally wouldn't build ANY EMA (exact-match anchor) links at all. I'd just build 'good links' and then let my own site's internal link structure, re-distribute the new PageRank as appropriate

        I'd only use brand or part-brand part-product links. I wouldn't use exact match keyword links (ever)
