    Not very good ones. May I suggest making a slight change to it:

    <a href="http://www.yoursite.com" title="Oh-Free Games">Oh-Free Games</a>

    Rumor: Many of the SEs drop two character words. Use a Hyphen to make sure.

    But Free Games is extreamly comptetitive.

    It will, but I doubt there's much of a market for that particular anchor. Why not go for something like "online free games" or "free flash games" instead?

    What is not good? Yes, I realize "free games" is extremely competitive, thats why I am asking if "oh free games" will help improve ranking for "free games" ?

    I'm not sure I understand your point. "free games" is very popular and very competitive. Thats why I am asking if building incoming links with "oh free games" or "the free games" or any such patterns will improve ranking for "free games"?

    Having "free games" in the anchor will slowly help you rank for it yes. But if you are going to do that and try to get links with 3 words in them, make the 3rd word something useful then.

    "oh free games" has no search volume at all. So while you are building links, you will start to rank for "oh free games" faster than "free games", and you probably won't have difficulty ranking #1 for that term - but nobody is searching for it.

    "online free games" on the other hand, has 15,000+ searches/day. Yes it's very competitive, but when you start to rank for it you'll actually get something out of it.

    Would you rather rank for "oh free games" and "free games" OR "online free games" and "free games"

    Thanks Christian, the reason is I can get more valuable natural/organic links with anchor title as my sitename than anchor that is obviously for seo purposes.

    Yes it can help but the keyword "Free Games" is very competitive. So you must do off page optimization and get backlinks using "Free Games" as title or anchor text.

    Anchor text will be enhancing your website traffic but not more. The basic aim of anchor text is to connect with other webpages in a particular website.
