  • anchor = keywords;
  • title = keywords.

Off page SEO tips:

  • links form blog comment (a little bit more spammy);
  • links from forum profiles ;

And you had placed a picture of bottle having name “DSC0000145.JPG”, when search engine crawl your page they will also make a note of image also bured color water grade bottlet image will most likely not attached with the description of the page.
