Using varied anchors is considered safer.

But in practice, does anchor diversity still prevent issues, or are other signals now more important?

It depends. If you focus on spamming then yes it reduces the risk. Who doesn't love variations let alone google?

Anchor diversity still helps a bit but it is not the main thing anymore. Google now cares more about content quality and link relevance than just anchor mix

Anchor diversity still matters, but it’s not the main safety factor anymore. Relevance, link quality, and natural patterns matter more. You can have perfect anchors and still get ignored if links look spammy.

AI helped search engines process data faster, so they are looking at more metrics. Anchors are still important to identify bulk spamming but they are not as significant as they used to be.

Anchor diversity still helps , but it is not the main thing anymore . Search engines seem to care more about overall link quality and relevance now. Using natural anchors just feels safer and more realistic.

Anchor variation can help keep things looking more natural, but it’s not really something to rely on by itself anymore. Other factors like overall content quality, relevance, and how the links are placed tend to matter more in the long run.

Yeah it still helps to keep anchors natural, but it won’t save you if content or links are low quality. Google now looks more at overall trust and relevance.
