Thanks for the information I also want to know once we see the anchor text cloud how should we analyze it with our competitor and what metrics we look for.

I think it’s a matter of using a healthy mix of anchor text along with making sure the links you get are on really relevant websites. So if you got a link on a webpage that included a list of WordPress designers, you probably wouldn’t need the exact match anchor text because Google could decipher that anything on that page related to WordPress designers. Kind of depends on the link and the situation.

They’re effective for now… I think Google’s doing a good job of cracking down on them though.

We agree with above facts, But when we clear our exact match domains link profile we saw drop in our ranking for that keyword. Every day Google is updating algorithms and it is really confusing. We are now mixing our link building profile, sometimes using exact anchor text, naked urls, variations of keywords with brand name. Here in this comment we used exact anchor text.

Anchors and link popularity (number of BL) are still the most important factor in SEO. The only thing that change over the last years is the way that Google’s handle spam. But experienced spamers are still very efective.
