First, your tier 1 links, the ones that point to your website which is 40 web 2.0s in this example, are the highest quality links in your pyramid. The main function of the link pyramid is to drastically strengthen your tier 1 links. For that reason, high PR links would be the best thing to do. This can be done by pointing other links into it. However, these links that you will point at them should have considerable page rankings as well.

You would to create about 20 to 60 of these web 2.0s for your first tier. Of course, you will be sending other links to your money site as well. However, these links are the most important of all of your links.
Building Up Your Second Tier
Your 2nd tier is not as important as it may seem. However, there are two integral reasons for building the tier 2.
  1. High PR links. Since the higher the quality of your links, the better it is for you so try to aim for private blog networks.
  2. Social Bookmarks. They easily become indexed.
The purpose of your tier 2 is to strengthen your tier 1 by getting them more indexed and boosting their PR. For that reason, high PR links are so important. If you will not use them, it will be very difficult for you to boost the PR of your tier 1 links.

What Is Best Anchor Diversity
In today’s SEO world, having an anchor diversity is a must have. However, you would want to rank your tier 1 first before the succeeding tiers. In order to do that, follow the percentages below:
  • 35 percent page URL
  • 25 percent main keyword
  • 20 percent secondary keyword
  • 15 percent home page URL
  • 5 percent random words
Therefore, most of your links should come from the page URL. This will be followed by your main keyword and your secondary keyword. Your home page URL should come after that and the last one should be your random words.
That’s all for link building with link pyramids. However, this method does not work for everyone. Therefore, you should mix some things up in order for you to find the most suitable processes for you. Good Luck!
