@Startrip I was agreeing with what you and ron said about keyword percentages. I should be careful with using "lingo" type statements such as "no argument" though, instead I should say "I agree" or "absolutely correct!" to avoid confusion ">
Anyway, I like the new changes. This should help us really fine-tune keyword control almost any way we want. @Sven Do you ever sleep? Its crazy how fast you add features and come out with updates. Keep up the good work! :-bd
@rodol sorry there was no room for that "count label". It looked ugly with one under each input field.
AlexR Cape Town
Thanks for this awesome feature! So excited to use it! This solves so many issues!
@sven - are there any macros we can use to pull these into articles? Like %random_LSI% etc?

Hello,
Since we are on this topic, I would like to make another request to @sven.
Could you please categorized the 'anchor text report' according to this change? What I mean by this is if my main KW is "blue widgets" and "blue widget reviews" I should see these two keywords under "Main KW" category with their respective counts. Similarly, for partial/sec keywords/LSI's/Naked URLs, etc.
This will help us keep track of our anchors, so that we don't over-optimize them!
Is there an url format that uses these? Just busy setting up everything with these new features! They're great!
AlexR Cape Town
@Ron - can you explain the difference between secondary anchors and either LSI or partial?
I would have thought these have a complete overlap.
I.e either your secondary is a partial or it is a LSI in most instances. With these new options it's like secondary is not needed anymore?
Sven www.GSA-Online.de
There is no other format for URLs with anchors than the present one. I don't see a reason to add url#anchor#secondary anchor#partly#branding#lsi#... ...would just get too complicated.
AlexR Cape Town
Many of my domains have multiple subpages I'm trying to rank so rather than have separate projects I use them in the URL format. This means less projects to manage.
I agree its too complicated to add. Will need to spend a little time working out how best to handle subpage URL's with the new system.
E.g. If I have a sports page my root tries to rank for sport. Then each page has specific anchors.
site.com/golf{
site.com/cricket{
site.com/{soccer
@sven - If I use URL format as above (url#anchor#2anchor), and I set branding to 30% will it get applied or does it get ignored if using URL format with anchors?
Sven www.GSA-Online.de
Again, branding anchor is not pulled from the URL, it is only used if found in the form field.
AlexR Cape Town
@sven - I understand that it's not pulled from the URL.
I was asking if you have URL#{anchor}#{2ndanchor} and you have Branding anchor % set, does it ignore branding anchor or does it use the branding anchor % as set in the field?
Sven www.GSA-Online.de
it is using that field of course.
AlexR Cape Town
Perfect! That's great news!

AlexR can you please help me how to setup macro in SER to pull kw from a folder where 100 files containing 1k keywords in each file?
actually i have asked in another thread but maybe other members dosen't know.
AlexR Cape Town
Just place the various text files in a folder.
Then use the spinfolder macro. Right click, select macro and select the folder.
baba
AlexR i have tried again but still not working and still shows thousands of kw at a time when i have clicked to test.

@AlexR - I thought I did a good job explaining them on the previous page. Please re-read as I will just end up likely repeating myself.
AlexR Cape Town
@Ron - I always re-read things twice before I ask a question. :-)
The only reference to secondary anchors was
"Secondary/Related Keywords (controlling your dog)
LSI (dog barks a lot, dog growls at visitors)"
But "controlling your dog" could just as easily be an LSI or conversely 'dog growls at visitors' could be a secondary.
I'm just struggling to see where secondary and LSI differ as it seems they are often the same.
(Unless your secondary has an root anchor overlap in which case then it's a partial!) which comes back to my initial question "can you explain the difference between secondary anchors and either LSI or partial?
It seems to me a secondary anchor is almost always either an LSI or partial phrase, so if your secondary anchors are carefully selected you don't need partial or LSI. :-B

Go back to the soccer example. Referee, ball, field, goalie are not synonyms for soccer - but they are terms you would expect in an article on soccer that would validate that the article is about soccer. So LSI "completes the picture" that the article is about soccer. So these words have a little bit of a different focus than say words that are more like synonyms.
AlexR Cape Town
@ron - Thanks. I got the LSI bit but it seems that I have quite an overlap with Secondaries.
Anyways this needs a little testing. :-)
audioguy
It confused me a bit too. Perhaps you can mix them together if your keywords are not that different. As ron said, there's no single rule. Everyone will have their own opinion.
My thought is this. To take the soccer example, related keywords may be: football game (in other parts of the world), english league this saturday, mu vs milan, 1-1 for this game, etc. They are directly related to "soccer game" but doesn't contain the word soccer game in it, hence not partial match.
While LSI will be: cr7 legendary kick, the goalie did a perfect job, etc.
Hope that clears thing up a bit more.
ron SERLists.com
What I do is designate what I want as LSI (which terms really complete the picture), and then everything else gets dumped in secondary.

If I am using the <a href="%url%">%anchor_text%</a> GSA gets anchor only from Main Anchor Text and combines it with Generic and URL as anchor although I have selected/enabled Partial Match, Secondary and LSI anchor text.
Shouldn't the macro %anchor_text% use all anchor text fields according to the different percentages that are entered for each category of anchor?
Sven www.GSA-Online.de
@gamble4living, yes it is doing this. If you use %anchor_text% it uses the one defined by URL, else the one in the set field and if the percentage matches, it takes the secondary, partial, generic, url or branding one here.

The problem is that it isn't using the one from the secondary, partial, LSI and branding.
Edit: It seems that I am wrong, it is using them not with the percentages that I have sent. Probably needs more verified submissions to even it out.

It should mean we all get a chance to lay a better groundwork of links overall.
Thanks @sven @ron
%random_lanchor_text% - lsi
%random_banchor_text% - branding
%random_sanchor_text% - second
%random_panchor_text% - partial
actually i have asked in another thread but maybe other members dosen't know.
Then use the spinfolder macro. Right click, select macro and select the folder.
