  If you are looking for relevant links to your site and throughout your site you use your keyword phrase as your anchor text:
  
  Best Search Engine
  
  Using your keyword as your anchor text can help you boost your relevancy and search engine position.

  Its also a way for you to tell search index spiders to either "follow" the link and index it, or "no-follow" the link and not index it. Hope this helps

From wikipedia

nofollow is a value that can be assigned to the rel attribute of an HTML a element to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring.

Thanks

  Hmm, these are the kind of questions Google could answer in an instant. Anyway, this is how you html it with the nofollow attribute:
  
  Code:
  
  <a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">discount drugs</a>
  
  (from wikipedia as well)
  
  Thanks

And no matter what you are told, both do follow and no follow links matter. i.e. don't avoid a link just because it is no follow

Yeah, these examples are really spot on, good stuff.

So in a nutshell, anchor text tells the search engines what your site is about, and you'll get higher ranking in the search engines by using your target keyword as the anchor text.
