Link Diversity

It's important to diversify your link building. These days, Google gives the most value to: 

- Foundation Links
- Niche Edits

- PBN Links

Building a variety of these types of links is going to help you reach the top rankings that you're after. The good news is, Niche Ranker makes it extremely easy for you to get these links.

Anchor Text

Anchor text is best described as the word choice for the hyperlinked text. For example: Blue Carrot - The anchor text here is "blue carrot". Would I recommend eating a blue carrot? No, but that's for a different article.

There's specific anchor text strategy that you should follow with your link building. First, let's start with the 12 categories of anchor text:

1. Exact Match – this is an exact match anchor for one of your keywords.
2. Page Title – this anchor text is usually a blog post title or the actual SEO title as the anchor text.
3. Partial Match – this anchor includes one of your main key phrases plus other non-keyword phrases with it. For example: Best Blue Carrot Recipe
4. Brand Plus Keyword – this anchor includes your brand name plus a key phrase (ie “Niche Ranker Blue Carrot”).
5. Partial Keyword – this anchor contains just a part of your key phrase. For example: Carrot
6. Branded – this is just your brand name as the anchor text: Niche Ranker
7. Generic– this anchor has no reference to any keywords or brand: Learn more, Find out more, Click here, Etc
8. Full URL – this anchor is the full URL of the page being linked to as the anchor.
9. WebsiteName.com – this anchor is your URL written in this format: “NicheRanker.com”.
10. Home URL – Your home url: "Nicheranker.com/home
11. No Text – this anchor is associated with image links that have no alt text.
12. URL with www’s – Example: www.nicheranker.com
