Multiple anchor text from same page

[baldidiot]

If one page links to another page more than once, which anchor text is used? I vaguely remember reading something a while ago that suggested that it is only the first links anchor text that gets used.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am pretty sure that i read somewhere, that in this case only the first anchor text is used.

I am not 100% sure though

Yes I read the same thing recently too. That said, I have also read that the Title tag of the referring page, plus the text that surrounds the link also plays a part in determing relevance so my guess would be that while most of the impact is from the anchor text, other factors play a role in determining the quality of the link. Seems logical however that the first anchor text would play a major role.

yes, i've heard the same.

What about if there are multiple links from the same domain though? We hear seos saying about one link, one domain, one vote in terms of effect on serps. But if you have several links from one domain then does anyone know what determines which of those links anchor text will have the most effect?

I would assume its logical that the first link on what Google deems the most important page would be the one to carry most weight, but that's purely specualtive.

I agree. But it will depend on how many times you use it.

I also read in other forums. As per my knowledge the first page anchor text is used.

I would agree on them that the first link would carry the great importance. Although the links had been the same for different pages, it is the first link that will get the high value in Google. So, i think it is better to put your major keyword in the first page.

Only one links proves the importance of Anchor text in your page.
