It also indicates search engines, what is the page about as well as it helps to gain rankings in search engines, especially in Google.

Re: Anchor text

It is also good to use a mix of keywords and use variations in anchor text. Stuffing anchor text with repetitive references of the same keyword can be seen as spam by search engines and avoided as far as possible. It is best to be safe as there is a thin line between genuine optimisation and spam.

Re: Anchor text

It should still be all very realistic though ... If every link you have all has the same anchor text, it's going to look like you bought the links, and not like they're natural. You don't need links ... you need natural links.
