Anchor Text is weighted very heavily in the current Google algorithm.
The net effect of this is that if many people link to a web page using a set of keywords as anchor text, that page will rank very highly for those keywords.
If you want your page to rank highly for a specific keyword combination, get people to link to you using those keywords as anchor text.
