Thanks Chris. I thought I got it wrong after reading Simon’s post.

I was talking about using the right words when linking to someone as a general courtesy. I wasn’t getting into to the PR or SEO aspects of linking.

I was reading Simon’s post but I don’t get it:
Is the writer of the post talking about PR juice or about using the right words when linking to someone?
Because I believe is not the same thing

Perhaps you are right Chris. I should start looking out on the way my anchor text are used when linking to others. Thanks for the response on my doubts.

I think that the linking issue is going to become more and more of a problem. With all the auto-link ads, external linking, internal linking, browser contextual addons, pretty soon we’re going to need some heavy duty personal semantic software to digest all the links and information for later use.

I try to adopt an inner linking strategy, we all know external links with optimized anchor text is a great thing, right?

but, consider your inner linking also! For example there is nothing wrong in trying to share your home page PR by linking to your inner pages or visa versa.

great blog!

Yes, it does depend on the reason you are linking to them I suppose. To be honest, I don’t know exactly how often it is a problems, but I would assume that it’s more often than most of us realize. I don’t think “filthy” text is necessarily always the problem. I think a lot of it has to do with context.
