We`re about to launch a website with multiple (hundreds) of tools (sorry for the nth intro, I feel I should include it every time). The core element of our SEO strategy is the fact that all of these tools can be embedded on other websites.
I know it`s OK now to not nofollow the link to us, but I was advised to include our brand name instead of the tools` names as the anchor text. And that was my goal, but I`m feeling I might be missing out on the value of an exact match text.
I`ve done some research and I saw a few highly successful examples of doing something similar. For example, if you Google "pogoda" (weather) or "pogoda {name_of_any_city_in_poland}" (example: "pogoda krakow"), you`ll get a certain website as #1. They have really nice weather widgets with "pogoda {city_name}" as an anchor text.
My niche is calculators, so I`d like to do something like "linkkinetic energy calculator/link made with ? by link{brand name}/link. What do you think?
