How the anchor keywords effect SEO in 2013 (after penguin and panda update)?

[Edwin Steve]

The major impact of Penguin update was with keyword stuffing. Anchor Keywords using a substitute set for the main keyword(s) like “click here”, “find more info”, “Visit here”. Thus it become a real or genuine way to be thought.

After Penguin and Panda update you cannot create too many backlinks with same anchor keyword. If you will create hundreds of backlinks with same anchor keyword then Google will penalizes your website.

Short and Sweet Answer, keep variation in your anchors.

After the Hummingbird update u can’t just place keywords everywhere any longer. For blog commenting I would suggest you go with names not keywords according to Matt guidelines.
