Value of Links WITHOUT anchor text?

[charles1]

Does having links without or with irrelent (such as your name on blog comments) anchor text improve your SERP ranking?

[KaneJamison]

Yes, absolutely. Anchor text is one indicator of topic of the page, but the link itself is valuable regardless of anchor text.

Most links in a "natural" link profile won't have ideal anchor text. Your brand name, the raw URL, and things like your personal name or "click here" will typically appear frequently, so those are good things to have in your link profile alongside your optimized anchor text links.

Hello Lindz1, Firstly the anchor text is widely considered by leading SEO experts as one of the most influential factors in search engine rankings.  This is supported by search engine representatives.  Why? Because the anchor text shows the search engines what the page which is being linked to is about.

The fact is If there may be NO visible anchor text detract or even eliminate the link value in the search engines.
