Well, No Dice on the anchor text test. Not with one link, anyway. This may do it though. I’m reposting the same thing here to see if it takes two to get the target to show up in SERPs. I’m starting to thing that an established site gets this link/anchor text action a little more easily than a new website does.
I’ve noticed that twice, I’ve posted two links in a single post, where the first gets enough linkjuice to bring a target website online in a Google search, but not the second. Here’s a test post that contains only one link with anchor text. This is related to technical debt and a site which I’m doing one of my so called, “stress tests.” I create a post for a certain topic on a blog where I have a good feel for its PR or authority and see where it falls in search results. I also sometimes create an anchor text test to see if the link will pay off. Like technical debt, SEO debt is incurred when you don’t do enough link-building or do the wrong kind of link building. Finally, here is my test for the new website for technical debt: gekkotechdebt which is a common term to nothing. It isn’t currently indexed anywhere but that will change as soon as I post this gekkotechdebt anchor text. The question remains whether it will return the target website as well.
