Distribution should follow how the web talks about you
Well-known brands often receive many branded anchors. Research pages may attract title-based citations. A local business can receive raw URLs and business-name references from directories and partners.
There is no single natural distribution that fits all of these cases.
Expect variation across target pages
Homepage anchors should look different from anchors pointing to a technical guide or product category. Review anchors by destination rather than combining the entire domain into one misleading chart.
The page’s role shapes how writers naturally describe it.
Context can carry relevance without exact-match wording
A branded anchor inside a paragraph clearly discussing your target topic can still provide strong semantic context. Exact-match wording is not the only way to make the relationship clear.
This reduces pressure to optimize every clickable phrase.
Avoid fake randomness
Deliberately spinning anchors into awkward synonyms can look less natural than simply allowing editors to write normally. The goal is not randomness; it is believable language.
Use contextual backlinks where the paragraph itself establishes relevance.
