I just pointed out a few potential problems with your method which is great anyway. Maybe I am too cautious but those were the problems that I thought should be taken in consideration. And you didn’t mention that client had already 90% links with the domain name in it :) Marius, @Shell: Don’t get me wrong..I never said you are wrong or right.

Almost 90%, so they have plenty of domain name links. We targeted links on high authority pages and we have seen great improvement with this strategy for highly competitive terms involving search terms for “job search”. We haven’t had anyone remove the link yet. We have many examples of link building in our link building category: http://www.bigoakinc.com/blog/category/linking-building/ Thanks for all your comments.

Changing an old link on an old domain and old page doesn’t make sense in the eyes of a search engine. Why would do that? - would be their question. 2. Any link passes link juice and you can always use internal links to have the desired keyword targeted on each page. 3. If I offer a clean link to a site that I like and appreciate and I receive this kind of mail-please use a keyword for my links- I would remove the link, not changing the anchor text. 4. Having backlinks with the domain name in it is very natural for search engines so we need those too. 5. Great posts on your blog-hope you will add some real life examples on old classical link building methods. Thanks, Marius I must disagree and here is why:

If this was a “bad” thing, it would not work the way it does. I have found this process to be much more effective that simply starting a new link building campaign for an established website.

I really try to take everything Matt says with a grain of salt. You must remember that Matt still works for Google and therefore has Google’s best interests at heart, which he should. On the other hand making sure your links are descriptive is also a good thing that Google likes so why wouldn’t you go back and change the links to make a better user experience. It wouldn’t make sense for Google to penalize the rewriting of a link to help users know what they are click towards. J.J.
