      Hey

      as part of my link building efforts i was thinking of offering free articles to people

      in exchange for a backlink on that article

      i was planning to use the Anchor text 'Phone Recycling' on every article

      is that the optimal way or should it be different for each article

        I think a mix of keyword text is always better., but does not have to be difference on each article

          Hi,

          to be honest the best way to do it is not to have the same anchor text in all article syndication.

          Switched up the anchor text and pages you are linking too imo.

          Find some variations of "Phone Recycling" which are getting traffic example "best Phone Recycling" then switch the URLS too.

          Depends how large scale you are doing the articles too, if it is only 10 then I wouldn't worry but if it is 100 worry about switching link urls and anchors for sure.
