wordpress.com as anchor text

andreig03

I have a lot of wordpress.com anchor texts and i didn't inserted this anchor text in "Anchor text" or "Partial match anchor text" boxes, in test it says it's taken from domain anchor, i selected to use domain as anchor text yes but i want the full url not just wordpress.com. Probably because i'm using a wordpress.com site but it's definitely a bug.

Not a bug at all. On the domain variations it uses domain, subdomain, url, host, host with and without www.

any way to disable this?

Sven

next version tries to not use domains for wordpress.

great

andreig03

it would be great if it wouldn't happen for all web2.0 platforms like blogspot, weebly, tumblr etc not just wordpress

Sven

well then i have to disable it completely rather than adding new exceptions all the time.

andreig03

And you can't do that? If you can't disable it completely, you can create exceptions for the most known web 2.0s with let's say pr 5 and above. Here's a list with them http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo/596156-get-list-web-2-0s-high-google-page-ranking-700-a.html

Right now I thought it is useful and good for diversity, don't know what others think about it?

anchors like this are not natural

Sven

hmm Im awaiting some more opinions before I change it.

@Sven The "domain as anchor" should definitely include variations like it has been so far, let it be web2.0 or personal domain. @andreig03 If you want only your full URL as anchor, then don't use the "domain as anchor" option, and add the full URL to one of the other anchor boxes as a separate option. It's definitely not a bug lol

Another story if it was possible to make it either customizable or give more priority to full url by default.. but not to disable completely

I can't see the problem here honestly.
