I guess this applies to things other than anchor text, but for my particular question that's the only thing it applies to. Does Google ignore words it typically ignores in searches (such as for, and...)?

As an example: "For Used Cars" as anchor text. Even though there's 3 words, would it ignore "For" and just give 100% to "Used Cars"?

I doubt it would ignore it, someone might force 'for' to be included in a search, eg searching ' "for used cars" '.

Plus if search for used cars (http://www.google.com/search?q=used+cars&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) and for used cars (http://www.google.com/search?q=for+used+cars&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8), it may say 'for' is not included, but still displays different results.

So I should drop For if I want to only target the other 2 words? I was asking for my casinos site. Pretty much all my anchor text on sites is "For Online Casinos". I think the majority of searches would be for online casinos and not for online casinos. Maybe a search like sites for online casinos, or something to that effect.

I was hoping the minor word would get ignored or at least not have much relevance.
