Link Titles

[TravG]

For SEO purposes, should you use a link title? I never have just made the actual text what I wanted the link to be. So if I just wanted to use the text "Download" but put a title like "Bovada Poker Download", will the search engines use the title as the anchor?

Thanks

The anchor is still the word "Download"

Here is an interesting discussion about anchor text from earlier this year.

I have no idea about the SEO ramifications of it - but typically I have used the title attribute and alt attribute on nearly all of my links and graphics to clearly identify what the jump or object is.

I've always felt that if you don't correctly label things then how can you expect search engines to know what they are?
