Hello, In my experience it is very important to use anchor text giving it quite high boost. It allows me to return http://www.aa.com when user searches for "American Airlines" - without using anchor text it was impossible to achieve - a lot of sites (spam or not) with "american airlines" in url and title were returned first.
I see your point. I'm probably in a different situation than most of you since my site is a pretty small niche. I practically hand-pick the exact pages that I want to crawl so I don't have to worry about spam. In my case, the anchor text doesn't buy me much, neither does the url. I switched to just using content and title, and I'm getting a lot better results now.
