        I'm afraid there's not really a one-sized-fits-all rule. You're in an industry where Google is definitely looking for manipulation, but, on the other hand, everyone else is doing it. As you said, it's a bit relative.

        My gut reaction is that you've got a lot of "health insurance" anchor text, but it's fairly diversified. If these links are generally decent quality and the anchor text is natural, I wouldn't worry about it much. If these links have other quality issues and those phrases were hand-chosen, then I'd suggest backing off a bit. In other words, I don't think I'd start cutting away or editing them - I'd just try to take a more natural approach going forward.

        Those 108 links are only coming from a dozen domains, so I think the one thing I'd be wary of is if they were clearly footer links, especially if those are on poor-relevance sites or a network you own.

          Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to provide some feedback, greatly appreciated Pete!

          There are no site-wide footer links that I know of, so I think we're good.

          • I would like to know why there are no links found, but there are about 300 links detected with other tools?
