Hi
SEO MOZ have a great explanation of what Anchor Text is http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/anchor-text
They also have a great explanation for keywords http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/keyword-research
In short it is best to use your keywords within your anchor text rather than generic words such as click here. The search engines will see your keywords within your anchor text and will understand more about the areas your business is targeting. e.g using your example of black German shoes, if you had this phrase in your anchor text search engines would understand that you were a company selling shoes. Simply having 'click here' wouldn't tell the search engines anything about what your business was selling.
Hope that helps.

Secondary related keywords
Hi, Let' say one of the topics I want to talk about is "wine tasting2. I do a search in the keywords tool and I find related keywords such as "wine tasting chicago" and all the words that I find do not apply to me because I do "wine tastings in Bordeaux". How do I deal in a situation like that ? Can I type in the keyword tool "wine tasting bordeaux" even though my topic is wine tasting ? I took "wine tasting" but I could apply that to the word "chateaux" where none of the related keywords apply to me. I run into issues when the topics are "large". The other question I have is still about "wine tasting" if I find secondary related keywords that apply to me such a "wine tasting in bordeaux", "wine tasting cellars" do I still need to add in my content the word "wine tasting" by itself in addition to the 2 related keywords or can I just only put the 2 related keywords ? Thank you,.

Keyword Variations?
Hi, can anybody tell me if it is useful to optimize the following keyword in all 3 Versions?
Keyword Research | | mbase22
As I know google separates the 2 words as if using a hyphen - so it would be the same as if just using a space between the words.
But if you search for the different Versions in google there are different SERPS for every of this versions? Not many users will search using a hyphen between the words I guess - butt I saw some few keywords tipped in with hyphen in my google analytics report. And I want to be on top 😉 Piloten Ausbildung Piloten-Ausbildung Pilotenausbildung thx!0 -
