- Written by Zarko Zivkovic. Search Engine People, 23 September 2011. "Our ranks and keywords we rank for heavily depends on anchor texts we use in link building.

- Building Deep Links Into E-Commerce Product Pages
- Posted by Everett Sizemore. SEOmoz - The Daily SEO Blog, December 14, 2010. "There are tons of ways to build links into the home page or blog/article pages of an e-commerce website. But most e-commerce SEOs suffer from the same problem: It's not so easy getting links into categories or product detail pages (PDPs). The e-commerce SEO's conundrum: The pages that generate revenue are the ones you hope to rank highly, yet they're the ones to which nobody wants to link. Of course, you've already done all of the interlinking from your most linked-to pages into your product and category pages right?

Usually, if someone links to you without being asked, you won't have the opportunity to choose your anchor text but if you've written your content in such a way that the main keywords are obvious, you'll see that, many times, you'll get the anchor text that you want. That's why being clear and making your page theme obvious is so critical..."
- International Link Building - the Best of the Whole World

Of course, you'll have some overlaps (e.g., when you look for an international brand or product), but search engines always try to offer you the most relevant result (i.e., results in your language). Your preferred language is determined from the language settings of the browser, chosen search engine (.nl, .es, etc), and (in most cases) the IP address of your (local) Internet connection..."
