Request indexing in GSC, strengthen internal links, fix crawl/noindex issues, and give Google some time to recrawl.

I still care about anchor diversity, but I prioritize relevance and link quality first. A natural mix of branded, URL, and partial-match anchors usually looks safer than forcing exact-match keywords.

Yes, I’d prioritize relevance and genuine site quality over DR/DA alone. Metrics are useful for screening, but a relevant, trustworthy site with real traffic is usually a better backlink than a high-DR site with no topical connection.

One of the most unexpected wins for me was improving internal linking. Simply connecting related pages with relevant anchor text helped some underperforming articles gain visibility much faster than expected.
