  • Renuka Suri: What is keyword rich anchor text? ;
  • Dave Elliott: so things like "buy seo services Uk" as a link to a site would be keyword rich anchor text presuming your page was targeting the phrase " buy seo services uk"

    This is being frowned on more and more by Google though and current best practice is to use your brand name as the anchor text for links coming from external sources, although internally it is still quite useful.

    The cuetimes listed on this page are functional while the live broadcast continues and also once Youtube has finished processing the public broadcast. Processing time varies between 6-24 hours. During this period the clip is viewable in full but the cuetimes cannot be relied on.
