				SEO Myth - clarified
			 
 There is a common seo myth that someone linking to you using a different keyword than what is actually on your site will hurt you.
 Not true.. here's why.
 
 If my site is about TEXAS and you link to me using the keyword TEXAS, then I get a positive vote for the keyword TEXAS. If you link to me using OKLAHOMA, I don't get punished in the serps for keyword TEXAS, nope, I get a negative vote for the keyword OKLAHOMA.
 
 So, if someone links to your site using a different niche keyword, then it gives you a negative vote for that keyword, not for the one(s) your site is built for.
 
 In closing, if someone links to you 50 times using keyword ARKANSAS, that is 50 negative votes for keyword ARKANSAS and your ranks for TEXAS remains the same.
 
 Now you know that YOU control your rankings. Get lots of one way links using keywords of your choice to do the best.
 
 Have a nice weekend,
