Diluting anchor text?

anchor text

[NexDog]

In our main category that we fight for on Google we are seeing some strange things. It's a popular category in the hosting market and for the sake of discussion, we will call it "Blue Widgets".

When I now do a search on "Blue Widgets" and "allinanchor:Blue Widgets" the results are EXACTLY the same. Therefore it seems that Google is judging the category on anchor text alone.

Now my question. On a certain site I have links that say "Acme Blue Widgets" as opposed to just "Blue Widgets". Will Google still count "Acme Blue Widgets" when we look under "allinanchor:Blue Widgets"?

Thanks for any input. :)

Last time I checked, "Acme Blue Widgets" would give an anchor text boost when people search for "blue widgets"; only slightly less than if the anchor text had been "Blue Widgets".

allintitle, allintext and allinanchor were intended only to be searches that remove all listings that don't have the specified words in the title, body text or anchor respectively (as with allinurl).

They did also have the property of changing the search string enough to bypass certain aspects of Google (people argue over the words penalty and filter); as did searching for keyword1-keyword2, keyword -madeupword, keyword -filetype:pdf, or by using a regional Google or changing the interface language with something like &hl=de on the end of the results string.

After the 'Florida' update, the penalties/filters become much better known so Google plugged those holes. Now, allinanchor just means allinanchor.

Okay, great. Thanks for the clarification.
