Hello Everyone,

Are Naked Backlinks really safer than Keyword-rich backlinks?

Where did you read that? I’d say a contextual do follow link is the safest you can get.

It's one of the most popular anchors of a natural link profile. Because of this you can use them in large quantities freely.

Keyword rich ones you usually can't.

thank you kind sir. this is my understanding. i notice this in backlink profiles of even new sites they went aggressive and are rewarded whereas those with many money-anchors especially from beginning including myself in the past are slapped down.

unlike partial and exact match anchors, naked and brand anchors usually make 70-80% of a natural link profile,
they do no harm while overdoing them unlike exact matches, so they're safer for sure

For new sites start with brand & naked links, slowly diverse with generic terms, long tails. Less % of links goes to main anchors. Depends on the site the strategy will vary.

You can use naked links to some extent but I won't suggest to fill them in your entire backlink profile as it'll be a footprint. So, avoid naked links wherever you can use anchors. You should also optimize your anchors to look natural.

For generic like Go to site. what if i happen to have an instance of the word "site" in my article but its not targeting this word per say, not in the title or h tags even, is this considered now an optimized link or still generic?

Keyword coated links are safer than naked links
