I am sure Google do/would like to assess link value from relevent sites etc but in reality what I see in my area is anchor text backlinks rule.

People go on about content being king, hilltop, semantics etc but I think the effect they have seems minimal.
I am sure it can tip the balance in competetive areas when sites are 'neck and neck' though

But from all the serps in my area the allinanchor results are all but identical to a standard search
