Well when I asked for links I always did some variation of the anchor also to play safe and avoid it to look like spamming. The one ways come from download sites that get my PAD files for my games. Some will have a anchor like jocelyn, some will have an anchor of visit the game maker site... so it's quite diversified since I don't control that. Most my links are to home and the ones I get now I get to point to inner pages.

I'm getting links to bothunter the same way, I edit the link exchange post link description after I got a few links... it does not rank because it's still young, but did not disapear for a search for bothunter.
