Back-Link Structure

Penguin looks at the keyword density of each exact match keyword and these need to be 5% or lower. The bulk of your link anchor text should be URL links, brand links or junk links.

Brand links are variations of either your website name or registered company name. Use various kinds of domain addresses for your URL link creation.

Getting links from different Class C IP addresses is really important for your back-linking strategy. Links tend to be more powerful if they originate from web sites with content relevant to your site. The best performing backlinks will transform your google rankings, but only if they are built properly.

The sites that link to sites linking to you are assessed for quality by Google, for this reason, look for a good ‘trust’ score for your linking.

Sooner or later Google will identify any commercial link networks you may be using and will penalise all the sites linked to through those networks…… This is only going to become a bigger issue in the months and years to come as Google works to improve the quality and value of link juice.
