    Default Anchor Text Links

    I find myself doing blogs in AR for like 10 different towns, How helpful is it to have 30 or so blogs writen 10 different Anchor Text links, One Link per blog so an example

    Town 1 Blog, Anchor Text link in it
    Town 2 Blog, Anchor Text link in it
    Town 3 Blog, Anchor Text link in it
    Town 1 Blog, Anchor Text link in it
    and so on and so forth

    Here is a link to one of them:

    http://activerain.com/blogsview/1412...ns-Real-Estate

    I guess what I am asking is after a while I will end up with like 60 or 80 links but 10 different anchor texts on the links, so say I am very very interested in Town 1, will those links with the other anchor texts not really help me that must for town 1??

    A simple answer is no.

    A full answer will depend if you explain what you are asking, because i could hardly understand you.

    Further explanation:

    Many people have one or two town names that they can concentrate on such as Houston, or Atlanta, where as I don't have that, I have 10 towns that all border each other, they are all smaller 6,000 people to 50,000 people, most are closer to 12,000 people, All 10 towns sit at the border of 3 counties on top of that, so some are in Union County, some in Essex County, some in Morris County.

    People here do not search:

    State Real Estate
    OR
    County Real Estate

    People here search town Real Estate, So you have to go after the town names with real estate.

    My question is I have to spread out with my anchor text links, so if over time I do 60 blogs each with one anchor text link in it, the maximum number of anchor text links for each town will be 10, but a total of 60 anchor text links all pointing back at the same site. The question is, since I have to spread out like this, when someone searches for one of those towns, yes I have 10 anchor text links with that town name in them, but will the other 50 links help as well in that case or not really, other than they are link?

    I know this question takes more than a few sentences to answer.

    The 10 text links that are for "Madison NJ Real Estate" will help with that exact search, or a version of it, with out a doubt. The text links for "Morris Township" will not do much at all for anyone seaching "Madison NJ Real Estate".

    You and I are in a very similar situation. Our site services 3 counties that consist of about 7-9 different small cities. I currently have 5 different text links that I use to optimize my site for pages that are specific to each city. From what I have found, "Gatlinburg TN Real Estate" does nothing for anyone who searches "Maryville TN Real Estate", both of which I service and optimize for.

    Are you creating 60 blogs? Are you signing up on 60 blogs just so you can get a link in the comments? I think that is what 36 Towns was trying to find out, and I certainly don't get it yet, either.

    No no Terry, I write a small blog about each one each week. Some home sales stats and some opinion of what they mean and then some other little trivia, all done in Active Rain. Each one of them I put a little note at the bottom with a click here to reach me and a Anchor Link to my web page. So if the blog posting happened to be about town 1 the Anchor link will be town 1 Real Estate, if the blog post is about town 2 the Anchor link will be town 2 Real Estate.

    I think the confusion here is about "Blog" vs "Blog post" you only have one "Blog" The account where you sign in and post, but you make new "posts" one about each area, and provide yourself a backlink to a relevant page signature style in the post - correct?

    Yes, since each town has a different name that people search by that is exactly what I do, and yes they are blog posts.

    So what do you think?

    Why not link each blog post to the individual town pages on your site? I have been doing that and now my town pages are starting to gain some good placement. Wag wag
