“I took the liberty of moving your comments out of the welcome thread, because it's quite a good SEO point you've raised.

Looking at garlex's site www.dischromatics.co.uk it looks (to me) to be a good balance of keyword anchor text, and the highlighted keywords seem to work, but leave the copy human readable.

Always on the look out for tips and ideas, and interesting to hear counter arguments and views, especially when its from self taught like me versus professional SEO'ers, and as the sites a PR6 (dohh, getting obsessed again) it's clearly working, or is this just down to a highly effective linking campaign?

So headsocial, you disagree with the highlighting approach. But as long as the copy is readable, isn't the highlighting simply an age old marketing trick to draw relevant keywords to the readers eye? Or are you purely on about keyword infested examples? (not garlex's site).

I must admit, I've tried different versions of this myself, so interesting to hear anyone else's opinion as well.”

“I have to disagree with you on the highlighting front you don't always need to highlight them, you need to have copy which reads well and isnt "I am on a business forum and this business forum is very useful for business owners"

It reads silly and will be picked up by search engines, keep it simple and make sure it reads well to a reader and not the search engine"!”
