Is there any Anchor Text Google penalty?
I have some backlinks from article directories, I have used 3 to 4 keywords in some of the links in the end of the articles.
My question, is there any google anchor text penalty? If yes, then how many anchor text words in one link is too much? |

No, there's definitely no penalty for such a thing.

There won't be a panatly for the amount of text in the title attribute, however don't repeat keywords over and over in it. You will get penalised for that.
Dont stuff it full of keywords, use it for what it was made, to describe the link (or whatever). |

If Google penalised for something like this then there would be nothing stopping me from doing this to all my competitors and watching their rankings drop ![]() But it's good advice nevertheless as anchor text should be descriptive but not spammy. |

I can almost guarantee you jamming a page full of target keywords (including the title attribute) will hurt your ranking.I think you think I'm saying it will harm the site your linking to's ranking. Your right it won't otherwise you could drop other people's ranking. I'm talking about the site that has the link in place, you're talking about the site that is being linked to from that link ![]() |

Yeah, the original poster is talking about backlinks from directories though
![]() But I completely agree with your other comments as content should always be naturally written hence my previous comment about it being good advice regardless of whether the content is onsite or offsite ![]() |
