Does Anchor text make a big difference?

Hi

Does the Anchor text make a big difference?

For example: If I have keywords such as UKWW Forums and UK Webmaster World Forum but want to rank high for UKWW Forums, can this be achieved if I use the anchor text UKWW Forums in forum signatures, submitting to directories etc

Thanks

so different anchor text WILL help PR more than redundant AT across many web pages?

You want your anchor text to target your main keywords most of the time. It helps to throw the odd one out there though to make your link building seem natural.

Yes Anchor Text should be relevant to the keywords for which one want to rank high in the search engines and as you want to rank higher for the UKWW Forums then the Anchor Text should be UKWW Forums only this will make an impact on search engines.

I believe that Anchor text has the special power for our sites.
I learn how powerful anchor text from this link V7N Search Marketing News Blog Archive Inbound Links and Anchor Text

You can apply anchor text from now

That really makes a difference since the Google Bombing is through anchor text links...

Remember miserable failure?

and i thought that google has become wise to anchor texts!

Yeah. I think Anchor text links isn't as popular as it once was. Titles, H1 and H2's can get yourself high and listed, and then it's quality of inbound links to get yourself ranked.
