5% target keyword 5% LSI keywords 90% generics, branding, domain as anchor text
This is good right? Can I be a little more aggressive with perhaps 15% LSI keywords?
And can the anchor text diversity be more aggressive for parasite pages, or should I just focus on building more volume of links with the same link diversity?
And is it OK if I concentrate my resources on building tiered back links only to those links with target keyword and LSI anchor text? (SERlists guys recommended this)
@Monie - Generally speaking, there is no correct answer. Not to mention in some niches people can get away with 40% exact match, and in other niches you would be crazy to go above 1%.
So given that environment, the best strategy is to get very conservative to start. I think 5% is fine, but I personally like 3% - but we're splitting hairs, lol. I also like starting out with 5% LSI as you suggested.
The thing is if you start conservative, after time, and if the results aren't there, you have the ability to increase things like LSI. If you come out of the gate hot and heavy, and it doesn't work, you will have less options to play with.
And if you create more than one website in the niche (recommended), then you can play with different % distributions to see what works best. One website is really not a valid test.

Hey Monie,
Looks good to me, however I'd scatter your percents a BIT. (dont exactly match percentages on any of your settings).
Also, keep your generics low. I can tell a SER campaign in 2 seconds flat if more than 10% is "Generic". I give heavy focus to branding and domain as anchor text in my own campaigns.
I'd definitely concentrate my tiered link building on propertys with my target and LSI anchors. Not entirely - but primarily. (Say 70%ish). Dont underestimate how important those branding propertys are.

Basically, balance all those percentages out to match what you want. Distribute 90% to your generics, branding, and domain as anchor text settings.
5% target keyword
5% LSI keywords
90% generics, branding, domain as anchor text

Yes, you can be more aggressive with parasite pages. And yes, it makes all the sense in the world to only tier underneath meaningful terms. The team left a quick tutorial on a thread that discusses this specifically: https://forum.gsa-online.de/discussion/13811/serlists-tutorial-optimizing-tiered-linking-campaigns
