Hi

I'm using backlinkwatch to track my backlinks, and it seems I have now 33 backlinks, but not one of them comes up with any anchor text? The space is blank..

why is this?
 


it's just a regular thing, don't be upset, it's not even shooing all backlinks, use some other tool, yahoo or open site explorer

don't check them all the time, go and make 100 more :)
 
Some of them aren't going to show up with the anchor text you've used. Personally I think it's a waste to continuously check whether or not your links have anchor text or not. I use YSE to see how many backlinks I have (and the only reason I check often is because of link velocity).

Like the poster above me said, you're better off going and building another 50 backlinks. Also, sometimes it's good that the anchor text isn't showing up, it makes it look more natural to Google.

Remember to use multiple anchors just so things look natural to Google. I aim for 30-40% anchor's for the keyword I'm aiming to rank for.

Good luck

that's what I was talking about. if you do the same thing for another 50 blogs, how much time would you need/waste...

some results will appear even month later, I was doing the same thing, but with more blogs I just realized I am waisting time on doing it, now I only check competitors backlinks, and not turning around for mine.

good luck friend.

hey Skint, you may be wondering: Is it worth going after links that don't allow anchor text? And do they offer any value at all in terms of link building, right?

backlinks without anchor text will still leak pr juice to you, but aren't as good as texted links because the anchor text is the main thing most search engines use to determine the 'context' of the link. Without that, they use 'surrounding' text and your destination site's perceived context in order to make a best guess.

And context is important because it helps to determine what keywords you will start ranking for.

It's worth remembering that a LARGE percentage of anchor texts are simply the site name, or 'click here'
