When creating pages and posts, I like to break up the text with images - which I often use as links. I also favour specific and generic anchor text links. Is there a recognised

If we're only talking about keywords, then it's generally been 1 for every 150-200 words. If it's hyperlinks we're discussing, I've never been told of any specific limit. If you're using linked phrases to go to specific products or pages then I'm assuming there's no limit. This would be the same for images leading to products. If I'm wrong on this, please correct me!

For what I know, in 400 words 2 links is okay and you have to place after 250 words then the last one will be at the last paragraph of the 400 words:) Hope this help...Nenita

Good question John. I've been doing it the same way too. So hopefully we can both get confirmation if that's correct.

Hi John, I'd like to have an answer to this question too...since I've been operating under the same assumption....as to what just "looks right" without going over the top.
