Link spamming, is when you are repeating a keywords through out your anchor text, and by doing this you can lose your trust rank with Google, I would have to say that many people get carried away about this, and try to get good rankings.

The important thing is to make sure you mix your keywords in your anchor text, and yes its okay to use your keywords, but don’t get carried away and link spam, when you lose your trust rank, or get penalized this means you lose everything, you will lose your business.

When I first started getting into seo some quite time ago, there was a few times I got a little worried about some things I did because I wasn’t thinking too much about them, and was desperate for rankings, and I feel this would be important for new ses to learn off this, so make sure when you plug your url in article, or submit to directories to mix your keywords for safe rankings.

Title: High quality Contextual Link Vs Lower Quality Directories.

As an seo it is very important too gain quality links, seocompany.ca would much rather pick a few high quality links for there clients over several dozen lower quality links, higher quality links are usually in the trust rank area with Google, and these are the kind of links that anybody would like to obtain.

A lower quality directory will not give you a much credibility to the search engine as what a higher quality link would, plus a lower quality directory can be counted as a negative vote for your website, I wouldn’t really say its a negative vote as hurting your website, but it sure will not help any.

A quality link I would have to say is far by more important then a lower quality link, with great links from high quality directories or websites with typically higher pr (page rank) levels, which granted pr(page rank) is not everything, but most of the time higher pr is better, now if you obtain a higher quality link with several other good websites pointing to this website that links to you – this is a major plus!

When checking for quality web directories always take a look to see what type of links are listed in the categories, check domain age,check page rank, and there are many other important factors. One thing to remember is that if you can get direct traffic from a link on another website, then typically its a good link as long as its in a good neighborhood.
