-------------------------------------
Honestly, i don't think not indexing anchor words that do not appear in the web
site text is not a wise solution. What made google so successful is indexing
anchor text + PR, the classic example being that, the page
http://www.honda.com/ never mentions that Honda is a car manufacturer, but the
anchor text does.
That said, I think we should focus on finding a way to eliminate the noise on
anchor text. At this point we take the first 10K links and discard the others,
due to size constraints. But a better way would be to select the best ones, or
select the most frequent words, etc.
> Including inlink anchor text in index can create irrelevant search results.

> Currently the basic indexing filter includes inbound anchor text for a given
> URL in the index. This sometimes allows pages to show up in search results
> where they may not be relevant. An example of this is a search for "dallas
> hotels" in our production index (www.visvo.com). Google would show up first
> in this example although there is no text matching either dallas or hotels on
> the google home page. What is happening here is there are inlinks into
> google with the words dallas and hotels which get included in the index for
> google.com and because google would have a very high boost due to inlinks,
> google shows up first for these search terms. I propose we add an option to
> allow/prevent inlink anchor text from being included in the index and set the
> default for this option to NOT include inbound link anchor text.
