Superb Mr Matt. Your powers are growing day by day. Soon you will become unstoppable.

Very informative as usual

I had to check twice if my playback speed was on 1.5......Lovely advice Matt, thanks.

[@bradallenfisher]

don't forget LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) anchor text (1-5%): These are anchor texts that use synonyms or closely related terms to your target keywords. LSI keywords help search engines understand the context and relevance of your content. Example: If your target keyword is "SEO services," an LSI anchor text could be "search engine optimization services."

[@PeterLee1228]

Some people don't like this term. But "semantic" aside (pun intended), in practice, I definitely agree that they help. Just like you, I use surge (lsigraph) to get them and use them for anchor links.

[@bradallenfisher]

@@PeterLee1228 nice plug.

[@whywhy7299]

Its been proven google doesnt use lsi

Thanks, Matt! This was really informative. Also laughing at "menage a trois".

I like the way you work it…

Thanks a lot

The mad scientist pic tho 🤣 Midjourney?

Learned a lot from this! I'm linkbuilder as my day job in the Netherlands. I share your content where ever i can! I just read an update from search engine journal about a new review update in april. Are you hot by the update? And do you know how to recover if you are hit? Would be cool if you're planning an update video about this 😁 Keep it going!❤

[@EcomEscape]

Nice info for linkbuilding

[@CryptoCaliph]

This technique helped me rank a page that was stuck for years.

[@Juliemarg]

I want to thank you for all your excellent content. I'm changing anchor text and have already seen some benefit! I have an off topic question. I've been looking all over for some information but can't find any answers. Will a link from an app help with SEO for a website? Most of the tools like ahrefs don't track apps, but my Google Search Console used to show some app links.

[@brightugochukwuoparah793]

Thank you for yet another very informative video!! But you didn't mention anything about interlinking, and how we can apply such tactics for SEO. Is it safe to over-optimize keywords using targeted anchors for interlinking even when they appear to be natural across different pages of a website?

[@ajeoluwaseyimoses955]

I don’t believe it really matters for internal links unlike offsite links So you should overthink it & just keep things natural

[@jamesscott1711]

@@ajeoluwaseyimoses955 internal linking anchor text is HUGE! It matters a lot more than you think. Check Cyrus Shepards in depth internal link study he conducted.

[@ajeoluwaseyimoses955]

@@jamesscott1711 I will check it out. I know it does matters but I believe she’s overthinking things probably that’s why she is confuse

What ratio should we keep in mind for Anchor Text while interlinking?

[@tenningale]

How should distributions change if they're internal links?

[@ahmadsaalim5852]

Please make a video about inlinks anchor text ratio (or does it really matter?)

[@gbessoni]

if ahref and gsc anchor reports are off, what does that mean and what should i do @matt

[@fernando3430]

What about Anchor Text for internal linking?

[@mouthfulacoque3580]

nice ad read.

[@abdullahshoaib7377]

Is this Matt's video, anchor text ratio distribution just applicable for backlinks or its also use for general internal linking within a site?

[@asadrazataqvi3602]

What if I build too many anchor base links on the brand name will it affect the home page ranking?

[@vectordad3487]

Hi Matt. I have all the links on a mega menu on the topbar. Am I supposed to get penalized for the same?

[@fraseniuclucian2661]

How do I manage anchor text distribution if my domain is EMD? You said that URLs are counted as Target. How do I build branded or naked links?

[@MattDiggity]

Replace brand with URL anchors.

[@ideapify]

Just learnt sth new, I usually confuse anchor text of the whole site instead of a single page

[@serpmatic]

If an EMD or PMD count as targeted anchors then how are they still able to rank #1 for their brand name? How does Google decide when the term is a brand or a keyword? If it's based on search volume or intent/behavior, does Google simply lift the filter for terms or phrases they consider to be "brands." ?

[@MattDiggity]

I wouldn't send "brand" anchors as a EMD PMD. Unless you count them as target.

[@badr185]

I watched most of your videos and most exemples that you give are about protein patterns😂😂

[@jimsmarketingcode3147]

Ok just so I know Im getting this right, if I want to rank better for a keyword like BEST COOKIE DOUGH RECIPE, I'm trying to get other websites to link back to me with that keyword is this correct.

[@jamesscott1711]

I want that recipe! 😋

[@iahmadak]

Nice shirt 😅

[@ib4658]

Matt if I link to my Etsy shop should it be a no follow link? Not an affiliate link but like my own etsy shop

[@MattDiggity]

If you want to rank that Esty shop, send dofollow. Otherwise, dont.

[@ib4658]

@@MattDiggity thank you 😊

[@Karakehayov]

Do random anchors from 301 redirects count in the same way, do they help diversity or not really?

[@MattDiggity]

Never actually single variable tested this.
