    Take a step back, and look at it from a non SEO offline example.

    You see a sign in a mortgage companies window and it says

    'we recommend abc mortgage lender as they are the best'

    a week later the sign has changed to

    'we recommend def mortgage lender as they are the best'

    another week later the sign has changed to

    'we recommend ghi mortgage lender as they are the best'

    What are your thoughts on the recommendations of that mortgage company? Personally I would say that their recommendations are not work the thought to read them.

    A guy calls on your business, he is selling insurance.

    2 months later, he calls again this time to sell you a water cooler.

    2 months later he calls again and he is now selling photocopiers.

    What are your thoughts on THIS persons reliability?

    The same guy comes to you every year. he works for a company, the company are good, their products are good, and they have never recommended a product that failed you or a solution that failed to deliver. they do NOT have a broad range of products, but the range they specialise in is good, and you have dealt with them for years.

    What are your thoughts on this specialist company?

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Do you see what I am saying now?

    Change links and you look unreliable, change anchor text and you can't make up your mind what you think the site does. get a link, stick to it, and leave it there, and it is a solid recommendation.

    To think like a search engine analyst, step back into the real world, because artificial intelligence is based around real world analogies.

    OWG, but there are different situations as well. For instance I have a website A and another one lets call this B. Since the economy including any kind of marketing activities always faces with the very same problem, which is the limitation of the resources, I would like to diversify the anchor text pointing to the website called B in order to improve the relavance lets say for 3 different phrases. (the URL is unchanged) I would embody this site B with myself. So the site A varies the anchor texts positioning myself as smart, handsome and clever, different attributes at each page load. So I return back to your train of thought and try to find what a normal person would think about site B, so about myself. I think she/he will thinks that I am a smart, handsome and clever guy, not only one, but all of these features.

    Please let me know if I am wrong.

    If the anchor text is changing you will lose trust value from google.

    Both would lose out.

    A would lose out as the link to the same page keeps changing, IE it can't make up its mind what the page is about, so it would lose the trust on the anchor text element (anchor text of outgoing links benefits the anchor page), and B would lose out as it would be something different all the time. So PR might pass, but link juice would not.

    I just known that footer link is worthless. How do you approve your statement above ?
