Exactly is in reference to a banner/button - which this post isn't about and everyone can agree that a graphic isn't needed. So I'm not sure why this would be brought up again.
The size of the anchor text, or amount of words used, within reason of course. Isn't going to draw in more surfer clicks. So having "webmasters" vs. "adult webmasters make money" isn't going to be a traffic leak.
That is what the post is about - and a larger text phrase isn't a traffic leak.
And yes, it does help with search engines. Yes, the link coming in helps anyway, but you can use the anchor text to help control and move the keyword/phrases that you list on. So instead of letting the bots tell what the page is about, you use anchor text to control the meaning of pages/sections and flow - so you rank better and with more phrases.
