2 links, different keywords, same URL. that ok?

[punk]

If i am back-linking for 2 different keywords for the same homepage is it ok to put 2 links on a page that have different keyword but link to the same page?

Will google give me credit for both keyword links?

Google will only count the first link that they see. The 2nd and any other links after that on that appear on the same page aren't counted.

My understanding is not only do they ignore the second link but they discount the link juice from the first link.

google give credit of both keywords. check on google for web development company and web design company we can see some results are the same for both keywords. and after you check backlinks of those website you would get to know that those used different keywords for the same page. so, according to me it will not harmful for your website

If you are getting the both links from same domain then it is not so much valuable to Google. Like if abc(.)com is linking your domain back by two different link with two different keywords then it may increase you number of backlink but from the organic search engine optimization point of view its not so useful.

We need to think carefully about what @janeth mentions... The juice is split between the two links, which dilutes it when from the same domain. Two links from separate domains, regardless that they target the same page, have their own independent metrics if their anchor text is different.

Hi
Friends if you targeting tow different keywords with some URL that is not good because according to Google algorithm Google provide priority of first link not second link that you interred in your post or article so kip in mind not use some URL for both keywords that are not beneficial for you.

Nope.

When a page contains multiple links pointing to the same target page, only the first as it appears in the source code is indexed by Google.

Any additional such links are discarded, along with their share's of the page's PageRank, thus diluting the PR of all links on that page which are indexed.

An example of such happening regularly here is members putting two or three links in their Signature, all with the same target page. They gain no benefit, and cost themselves and all others posting in the same thread page as they some PR.

check on google for web development company and web design company we can see some results are the same for both keywords.

The SERPs for the two different query strings are not the same; that some listings may appear in the SERPs for both query strings is irrelevant

... and after you check backlinks of those website you would get to know that those used different keywords for the same page.

You will not find such on Google, as just explained.

To be precise, it was a modification of several years ago to the PageRank algorithm, so as to defeat the practice known as PageRank Sculpting, that brought about this handling of such duplicate links.

Once a page's PR has been proportionately divided among all links on a page, all but the first of multiple links pointing to the same target page are completely discarded by Google's indexing engine.

Actually, getting multiple links form the same Domain Name, as opposed to from the same page, has no ill effect.

And, if the sourcing DN is of high trust and/or authority, and/or the pages sourcing the links are of high PageRank, such multiple links can be quite beneficial.
