Comment on SEO Tutorial – Anchor Text Optimization by Michael

I’ve read in a few places that anchor text is weighted more than an image alt text. Does anyone have current testing that clearly shows this? Logically IMO it makes sense as you could have an image of grapes, but your image alt text says bananas. The search engines would have a tough time programmatically knowing. So I’d imagine they can’t fully trust image alt.. Thoughts?

If you read through the various SEO Tutorial pages it explains in great detail where to place various keywords. For example Business and Domain Name Choice explains how to choose a domain name based on the keywords you are targeting, if your example you are targeting the "WordPress SEO" SERP your ideal domain name would be wordpress-seo.tld Title Tag Optimization explains how to use the title tag (title element). For our WordPress SEO example the ideal title tag content would be "WordPress SEO". Anchor Text Optimization explains about text and image links and with the WordPress SEO example again the perfect anchor text or alt image text would be "WordPress SEO". Exactly how to get this text within the title element, anchor text etc... depends on how you build your site, most people these days use content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, but not all, so not possible in a general SEO Tutorial to explain how to get a keyword in a particular location because it's a different procedure for each way a siteis built. WordPress for example if you want to have your home page title tag to be "WordPress SEO" it's added via the Dashboard under Settings >> General : Site Title To achieve the same for a WordPress post it's via Posts >> Add New : "Enter Title Here" box If you are a WordPress user see WordPress SEO Tutorial for a WordPress specific SEO tutorial.

Your first example with a hyphen has SEO value for the SERP whilst the other two has no SEO value. Might as well have the domain name hjghjjhgfjh.tld

Do you really believe Google would as a matter of course downgrade hyphenated domains because for a period of time they were used for SEO reasons? Now the SEO myth hyphenated domains are penalised in Google has become a well known “SEO Fact” there’s isn’t even a slight reason to downgrade them (not that they would, not how Google works).

Just a bunch of webmasters, my site was downgraded, it was a hyphenated domain therefore hyphenated domains are penalised.

Same argument with tld’s, ignoring country specific benefits there’s no difference. So org is no better or worse than com or info.

Check the SEO Tutorial SERP in Google, 4 of the top 10 use hyphenated domains with the keyword SEO within them. For the SEO SERP it’s 3.

Hey Dave,
Good article. It goes against common theory that hyphens rank worse.

Regarding TLDs, I’ve seen a .org rocket up the results in very competitive space, so it made me wonder.

Here is my question:

Let’s say I’m starting a site to sell buffalo chips.
I’ve done my homework and realized “buffalo chips” is by far the most desirable search phrase.
I’ve given up on finding something brandable; and prefer something with SEO juice.

What do you think of the relative value of these three choices?

buffalo-chips(dot)net
buffalochips(dot)org
chipsbuffalo(dot)com

Looking forward to your thoughts.

So if I write an article and someone asks for anchor text, they actually want a word eg Home insurance highlighted/linked, that is the anchor text? The link will then be the long piece of html that they give me?

Great article – great test – very helpful.

Question: Does Google weigh the value of anchor text links differently than alt-attribute text links? Or in other words, is it better to link from inline text than from images with alt-text?

Thanks!
