At last, on page optimization will receive the recognition it deserves for too long anchor text (and those with the most money) seem to have ruled. Thanks for this clear and concise post

It’s not simple, but i think you just have to be objective about your self and realize that occasionally when somebody is criticizing they are only giving their opinion and not always practicing what they preach.

I don’t think google has down grade the importance of anchor text or even if they do anchor text is still pretty much relevant.

I did some experiment in 2009 to rank a site in a niche market and the result came very well with the anchor text.

Until google has come up with some other attribute to rank, anchor text would still be relevant.

I tend to always try and use keyword domains where it makes sense, so that at least when people link to me they have to use my primary keywords.Historically, Google had the opposite problem: highly reputable sites ranking high for irrelevant queries. Keep in mind, there could be other factors at play; for example, Google likes to vary results on the front page, which is an algo that doesn’t have anything to do with either a page’s importance or relevance.

Compare the file coding with one of the stock WordPress themes that came with your installation. They both are pretty SEO friendly out of the box. The blue one is better.
