Inheirited key phrase?
Something I've been kicking around.
If many websites link to your site with the exact same link text does your site begin to inheirit the phrase used in those link text? For example, If many sites link to my site with link text that reads Oregon Weddings and a user types in keyword1 keyword2 keyword3' would a page with only the word 'keyword3' display in that users search results?

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I can say that if many sites link to you with the text "oregon wedding", a search for "oregon wedding photography" will certainly bring up your site in the results.
A page about photography, which has nothing to do with oregon weddings, will possibly also come up in the results for the same search, but probably buried pretty deep. Gringo. |

I think john means that if several sites link to a site using "oregon wedding" as the link text, but the site does not include "oregon wedding" but may have the word "photographs" in it would come up for the phrase, "Oregon wedding photography". I don't know for sure if this would work, but my guess would be that it would. (?)

Lets just say for example that 100 sites with a PR of 6 link to one site with link text of 'Keyword1 keyword2'. That site has established a theme for 'Keyword1 keyword2' and ranks well for the term. Then imagine an interior page within the 'Keyword1 keyword2' site that does not have the words 'Keyword1 keyword2' but has words such as photographer, florists, etc...
If a search was performed and the user was searching for Portland Oregon Weddings would the interior page inheirit 'Keyword1 keyword2' from the sites home page? Thanks!! Last edited by John : May 27th, 2004 at 02:33 AM. |

You may very well come up in search results but buried down a ways.
Without the relevant text of all the keyword in the phrase on the page, you probably won't be very high in the results. |

i agree with gringo to a point on this one, i have seen pages that cannot be crawled (but have a lot of links with keywords pointing to them) come up number one or two for searches that involve the keywords in the links, look at the cache in google's serps and it will tell you if one or more words are only found in the links pointing to that page.
hope this helps

John - your explanation is clear - and I think spherica has the answer. The page MAY show up, but it would be WAAAYYY down the rankings, and possibly wouldn't show up at all. If it did show up it would be so far down that it would be the same as not showing.

Thanks for your input everyone. Seems like it works as I thought but not as I had hoped. Oh well...
