    Every item on the first page of Google and MSN are obviously pages anchored by "click here". Yahoo, otoh, has a variety of "click here"-related sites, including clickhere .com and even the movie "Click". Nothing major, but interesting to know when considering different SEO strategies for each of the big-3.

    IMO, MSN values anchored text much much more than Google.
    I hade a page with around 20,000 incoming link with the same anchor text "advertise here" or something like that, and it ranked #1 for that term, while on Google and Yahoo it hasn't even been in the top 100.

    I'm not sure from my own experience ive found that google responds best to anchor text and msn just to a huge no of links. But again this is only a short term result at this stage.

    Yes, I agree :)

    Yahoo seems to rank sites using their own unique algo.. which stays away from anchor text..

    I may have missed a parameter but I am in the same case.
