Someone explain this for me.
So let's say I have a niche site. For this example the niche will be weight loss.
My h1 tag is weight loss
My h2 tag is how to lose weight
My h3 tag is losing weight fast
In gsa I have my link and anchor text. My anchor text is {Weight Loss|How To Loss Weight}
How come these two keywords have not moved in over a month, and the 3rd keyword Losing Weight Fast that I am NOT boosting is Rank 21?
Does this matter when it comes to this problem.
The keywords I have mentioned are just an example. But I do not understand why with all these links being pushed into my 2 keywords they are not ranking.
By the way there is only 100k results for the niche I am talking about so competition is EXTREMELY low.
Does GSA focusing on one keyword become a bad thing after a while?
Thanks in advance.
I would love to hear from @Ron on this.

The struggle is real.
http://warriorforum.com is a perfect match for you.
Opinions vary, but most ppl will say that 2-5% is the most you should use for any one KW and some more adventurous types might even suggest you can go as high as 10-15%, but I'm certain that everyone will agree that 45% is bad. In fact very bad. If fact so bad, you should be pleased that it is still ranking for anything
I agree. High anchor text % you can get away with in some niches and others not.
I always adjust my anchor text ratios accordingly to niches.
What would you recommend. Would you recommend I use my url and my 1 anchor kw, then simply split the other keywords in the anchor text area so my cloud % is split more?
Or in the url section should I just have the niche URL with no kw?
Will add screenshots later if needed.
Then you need to get at least 10 closely related KWs and probably another 20 or so related or similar topic KWs. Where you put these is up to you. Stick them all in your secondary or split them into Partial Match, Secondary and LSI or how you see fit.
Branding is generally your website title or perhaps the URL
Then you need to adjust the %s. As @bestimtoolz said, prolly no more than 10% for your main KWs although I'd generally keep that lower than 5% per KW, so 3 KWs = 15%
Set generic at something like 5% or 10% and set Domain as Anchor text at 20-50%
Then set the other & so all your tick boxes add up to 100%
What you are trying to achieve is anchor text diversity within a closely themed set of KWs
This is not a blueprint, but just a "general" overview. As others have said you can get away with different ratios / %s depending on the niche and on the type of site you are trying to rank, so I'd have a look in Ahrefs or Majestic and see what the top 5 or 10 are doing with theirs and adjust your accordingly.
