      Real quick Mozers' - when creating a widget that has the purpose to hopefully be placed on multiple sites as the new http://mozcast.com/widgets is supplying -

      In the past when I would create widgets to supply to webmasters - I would sneak in anchor text within the by line much like the "mozcast" -

      But in post penguin world - won't this end up negatively affecting the inbound link profile to such a newly created domain - especially since both widgets carry the same anchor text - and are both pointed to the index page?

      I have taught recently that it would be optimal to supply a variation of anchored keyterms also pointing to a variety of internal subpages to spread the juice.

      Or in this case - it isn't a concern?

      • I use a lot of tactics for link bait and widgets was one prior to penguin - but I'm interested to see how the keyterm "mozcast" will be valued through the big G overtime.

      Great job on the overall development though guys and also the acquisition of followerwonk.com - you guys are doing so well and honored to be a part of it.

      your pal

        Chenzo, In my experience if you are using the same anchor text which is also in the domain (like brand name) then its fine because how you will stop people linking to you with your brand name (logically you can’t!) but using the keyword  like ‘SEO widgets’ as an anchor text doesn’t make much sense...

        Hope this helps!
