Anchor advice needed ON Forum links

[fraduka]

Hey


I have bought a package of 10 Forum links niche related. Need advice ON what Kind of anchor should I use ON my Homepage?

Thanks in advance.

For forum links I would not push exact match on homepage because it looks unnatural fast. Better use brand name or naked URL most of the time and mix a few partial anchors if needed.

If you're expecting niche-related traffic from the forum posts, just use a relevant fragment of a sentence from the post - anything else will look like forum spam attempt. If you're just spamming links on dead forums then use whatever - probably branding is your best bet. But as you're buying a pack of '10 Forum links niche related' I suspect the situation is the former?

For forum links, its usually best to keep the anchors as natural as possible. Id go with a mix of your brand name and some naked URLs. If you use too many exact match keywords on forums, it can look a bit spammy to both the moderators and Google. Better to play it safe and use them to build your brands foundation.
