Site Match and "Anchor Text in BackLinks"

[sdani]

It should be obvious that if I am considering Site Match Xchange, then my pages are not yet crwaled.. which also means that there is no backlink pointing to those pages.
So now, If I don't have backlinks containing Anchor Text, can my pages still Rank Well in yahoo, just based on "On Page" content, if I submit them via Site Match Xchange?

My experience with Google so far is that even if the page has page rank of 6, we don't show up for keywords which are not in anchor text anywhere.

Thanks

Relevant anchor text is extremely important for Y!

Anecdotal though it may be: for what it's worth I had a site, say Widget Cleaning Info. I had a link from a "friendly" authority site which linked to me with anchor text Widget Cleaning. In an effort not to appear too spammy I had that anchor text changed to Widget Cleaning Info. As soon as the linking site was crawled I dropped 50+ results in the SERPs for Widget Cleaning (competitive term).

Tightly focused anchor text rules the SERPS.

then why should i use sitematch?

Presumably if you have a page that's already ranking where you want it to, and being crawled regularly there's no point?

No one from Yahoo has ever been able to adequately answer this.

My advice would be to get links and forget about sitemeatch. Yahoo! is very fast at indexing and scoring sites for free.

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall during that meeting. I’m sure it all seemed to make sense at the time and everyone meant well, but we have never really been able to understand the point of it ourselves.

I've heard it's better to vary your anchor text for google. I'm new to yahoo optimization and am not sure about doing tightly focused anchor text.

Also, if you want to rank well on 4 keywords and you have 4 static pages built around those keywords, do you point anchor rich links to your homepage or to you deep point them to the optimized pages?
