When it comes to submitting spun articles through services like BLG and the like which posts the article you submit to large amounts of article directories/web 2.0's, I've always added the maximum amount of links allowed (generally 2 or 3) in the body content back to my money site. For the anchor text, typically I just spin the different keywords or variations I'm trying to rank for and let it select it randomly.
As I (think I) understand it though, if the URL linking to my site has 3 links back to mine the link juice will just be distributed in thirds, meaning that I wouldn't lose or gain anything extra from using 3 links instead of 1.. but how is my ranking for those keywords effected by the three different anchor texts used?
I ask simply because I've read in the past that only the first anchor text in the body "counts". I'm primarily wondering if the two other anchor texts will have any effect at all, or possibly a negative/positive? Like I said, I have always used the max amount of links (on a single page) allowed just because I could when creating backlinks, but now I'm questioning if I'd be better off just using one link because the others have a negative effect or just no effect at all.. in either case I'll just start using one link instead of 2 or 3.
