you are characterizing what might be an important factor, as being the only factor and you're wrong.

it's simply one factor of many.

It's because anchor text is this powerful and it does affect your SERP for the phrase in anchor.




who is right? it sounds like mass backlinks using the same anchor is all that matters if you can outgun your opponent. if your backlinks are close, then other things would then weigh in.. right.

mass backlinks using the same anchor would beat everyone else trying to rank for that term.. is what I understand.
