This article is very helpful. I am just now going through all of my blog posts for our Cosmetic Dentistry blog and adding anchor text links. I think I may have done the doubleup in a couple of instances, but I won’t in the future. After reading your article, it really makes a lot of sense to just have one anchor text link per page that you want to link back to and then to have other different ones that link back to your page. Many thanks for the information.

The only real reason to do it more than once is for the user. In other words, having a link in your top or side navigation to another page in your website, then also linking that page again within the body of the text in the webpage, even using the same anchor text.

It won’t improve the seo having that second link but it may improve the number of clicks you get to the page you are linking to.

Hi Nick

Thanks for the link love! When I said 2 or 3 instances, I was referring to keywords, not anchor text links. You’re right, too many links to a page using the same anchor text is dodgy and unnecessary. I will alter my post slightly to clarify this in case the question submitter also misunderstood my meaning. Cheers!
