      Currently working on a new project, website isn't finished yet but i'm planning out the anchor texts.

      www.diamondengagement.com/new/ - you can view the site here but here are a few anchor texts that I was thinking to start with...

      1. Diamond Engagement
      2. DiamondEngagement.com
      3. Diamond Engagement Rings
      4. Engagement Rings
      5. Diamond Rings
      6. Anniversary Rings
      7. Diamonds
      8. Loose Diamonds
      9. Certified Diamonds
      10. Diamond Earrings
      11. Diamond Jewelry
      12. Fine Jewelry

      Here's what I need help with, how would I make partial match anchor texts using these 12 exact match examples?

      Also what's the maximum amount of anchor texts variations can I use per page?

      Here are a few top competitor sites

      www.jamesallen.com
      www.bluenile.com
      www.adiamor.com

      Thanks,

      harry

        Harry ,

        Partial anchor text is primarily for external link building . The rationale behind using this tactic in conjunction with exact match anchors is that people link to your site differently and hence a myriad of anchor texts appear more natural . Although exact anchor text still works an anomalous amount of the same exact anchors might trigger flags and could possibly devalue that exact phrase. For your keyword targets some examples of partial anchors are :

        lovely diamond earrings , beautiful diamonds, engagement rings , design your own engagement rings, diamond ring settings.

        There is a video that talks about this here. Hope this helps

          Hi Harry,

          Partial anchor text is a way that someone would link to you, not what you publish on your site. It's not something you can control or influence by what you publish on your site, beyond the general site theme.
