And Google knows that - it's obvious when you have a database of every link on the internet. All you have to do is run a query to find out if two sites link to each other, or if a site gets lots of links from lots of sites on the same IP address or if a site gets links from lots of blogger blogs that all get published from the same computer.
Plus they don't just have the links, but the history of all the content that's been on every page. Google has a lot of data and a lot of brilliant people who know how to work with data.
Because of this, they have much better and more accurate ways to decide whether a link fits the "natural" pattern or not than if the anchor text is the same as the URL or if it's different. They also know which pages are easy or hard to get links from, and any link you can create yourself ( like by posting with a signature or by spamming Wikipedia and Digg) isn't considered as a vote for your site, and doesn't change your authority. Unless most of your links aren't "natural" then it actually could hurt you. |
