Google Changing Algorithms For Anchor Text- A Theory

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Patrick Altoft at BlogStorm, has come up with an intriguing post, where he theorized that Google is in the process of changing its algorithms, due to which it has reduced the importance of anchor text to a bare minimum.

According to Patrick, “Quite a number of the queries we track have altered recently and websites that previously ranked have dropped down by a number of places. This doesn’t appear to be a penalty - just an alteration in the algorithm. The common characteristic all the sites have is that their rankings were based very heavily on anchor text rather than on-site optimization. The changes don’t seem to have affected major commercial queries yet but they are visible when you search for particular peoples names.”
