I've been doing a lot of reading about the Google Panda and Penguin Updates.

One thing I've read is to alternate your Anchor Text. In other words, use different Anchor Text for your links.

For example, if you post backlinks at 3 different places, use different Anchor Text at each place.

I've started switching up my Anchor Text to see what happens. Anyone else had good results doing this?

That's one thing I have started incorporating now. Hope to see some positive changes.

I don't think it's necessary to alternate from one to the next but definitely alternate batches at least. The important thing is that it looks natural, and it wouldn't be totally unnatural for a few backlinks in a row to be the same but after that they should change. And if people are building links to your site of their own accord because your content is fresh, original, and engaging, they will vary sort of automatically.

I agree. I'm using quite a few different variations of Anchor Text now.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Hi payment proof,

Yes, anchor text variation is critical.

Don't let any of it be 50% or higher.
