Hey u/mnsnly
Your research topic is around corner stoning – its one of the oldest SEO concepts and Topical Authority.
For backlinks, if you have an LLM and can get it just to give feedback on the original PageRank patent – that can answer a lot of questions for you.
> And what about the anchor text mix?
As long as you know that the whole idea of a “natural backlink profile” is an SEO and not a Google concept, as well as the % mixes – feel free to ask anyone. I’m not saying its not real. I’m saying that the perspective is wrong.
People take the perspective that Google doesnt trust people and spies on their activity. This is the “Stasi-Google Myth” – the stasi were an east-German secret police that had 1/3rd of the East German people spying on each other and everyone else. Very Orwellian – but ridiculously expensive and most of the reports were tit-for-tat. That was Putins last posting for the KGB.
Back to SEO. Google looks for bought backlinks by source – and if it finds them – regardless of “penalty” – it does so with total disregard for your “link profile” – thats all I’m trying to say
>How do I structure the internal links? Most articles I have read talk about hub and spoke model.
This is another SEO “idea” that needs to be challenged. Its a good construct, its a good idea for most situations. But its not based on PageRank principles.
>ut here I’ve read that internal links are sort of emergent, basis which pages are ranking and which CAN rank given their proximity to page 1 of search results. Which one works?
Now you’re asking the right questions – exactly.
And you can only get that from GSC
