No, that's not correct. A keyword rich anchor will be the following:
Code:
<a href="url.com">MY KEYWORD RICH ANCHOR TEXT HERE</a>

Correct. You can change the title parameter, but that is only displayed in the status bar of the browser on a mouseover.

Like in the latest post. However, since we are talking about SEO basics, let me just add that both the title and the anchor text should be used fully with targeted keywords and related terms, without overdoing it and mixing them throughout the page and site, try to avoid a pattern, make them as natural as possible.
Keep in mind that the anchor text is more visible to internet users, so make it as tempting to click as possible (if that's what you want). The title tag can be a little less appealing.
Good luck!

Some would say yes, but as far as I know, it is simply a standard parameter for all HTML tags. I doubt that G, etc would give it much thought. You can apply a title parameter to (I believe) any HTML/XHTML tag. For people using JS or other methods to dynamically load or manipulate DOM objects on the page, it provides a way to offer more information about the object. I imagine screen-reading utilities and other accessibility tools use them to help identify objects that don't have any distinct, semantic information in the inner HTML of the anchor.
