    it doesn't contribute as anchor text but the text around a link to your site is important when calculating the relevance of your link.

    I think it has more weight if you have text around your link like in the middle of an article for example

    Anchor text is the visible hyperlinked text on the page,

    In a normally built site, anchor text is usually used to indicate the subject matter of the page that it links to.Please note that the keywords in anchor text enhance the relevance of the target page pertaining to the keywords used. While the relevance of the page containing the anchor text is also enhanced to some degree (because of relevant keywords appearing on that page), the real gainer is the target page URL. Use this knowledge to build the relevance of each page of your site, through optimized anchor text containing important keywords, relevant to the theme of such pages, from other pages of your site.

    Yes, this is true as search engine is focusing on content relevancy :)

    It is perfectly optimized when a relevant anchor link appears within a natural block of content.
