It is useful though, especially for longtail searches.
Think of it this way: you can check how many indexed sites have that anchor text in links pointing to their sites. This will give you an idea of how many you're competing against (link wise) for that term..
Let's say I searched allinanchor:shopping and found there were only 3,000 results instead of something like 1.5 billion results, you could guess what I'd start building sites about. Because I'd only be up against a very few sites with the anchor text link building.

Let's not forget about the TILDA command aswell  Search "~keyword" to find what Google classes as related terms to that keyword. This is useful to find more terms to vary your link anchor texts and (I believe) gaining links with anchor texts found using the tilda (~) command will help you in your quest for serp domination of the main keyword. |

How does this work? ~ then the keyword? In brackets? Sorry mate, cant see any difference in results. I use the keyword tool on wordtracker to get similes and such. |

No brackets or quotation marks.
Just ~keyword
Try ~discount
and look at the bolded words in the title tags.
Yeh, I think wordtracker and other sources are good too, but this is just an extra way of getting more options.

lol at your "pro SEO consultant"  hahahahahah I've not explored allinachor (yet) but my team have been researching intitle: and inanchor: searches. Going through the returned results manually we've found them to be returning less than reliable results - about 60% accuracy (meaning 40% of returned results did not have the keywords in the title or anchor text respectively).
I'll get someone to do the same with allinachor: and report back, but I'm not optimistic.
I don't see one search result that goes by what you say. When searching allintitle:[keyword] it will return only pages with that [keyword] in the title tag - no ifs and no buts - that's what it does. Going by your posts I see there may be spelling issues! allinachor? intitle? - none of your quoted phrases will return the search you're after. My hastily typed typos in the post aside, we conducted the test after meeting with a pro SEO consultant a few weeks ago who suggested we not use this method. Frankly, I was very positive about using these techniques and we had been using them for several keyword research projects. But after multiple test searches across just under 200 keywords over several niches, the results were as described above - no ifs and buts... ~40% of returned search results provided pages in the top 10 SERPs that did not include the keywords in the title or in the anchor respectively. Searches for each xxxxx keyword were for: intitle: xxxxx inanchor: xxxxx intitle:xxxxx and inanchor:xxxxx |

Aaah! Gotcha! ~discount = cheap, wholesale, used etc... Cheers. |

Since the topic turned into a keywords research discussion, I would like to add another tip: http://www.google.com/trends  |

I'd never used it but it looks good, especially for suggesting alternative search phrases to target. |

allinanchor: is a fantastic way to see/gauge where your website will be amongst other competitors and see exactly how competitive a field really is (amount of anchor text to compete with).
It's also a good reminder of how bad/good yoru ONpage SEO efforts are when you see yourself on page 1 for example allinanchor:"KWHERE" but nowhere to be found when you just type the keyword in and do a regular search.

I'm not using that syntax very often, but as far as I know, allinachor command works almost SAME as allintitle command; wherein all websites having anchor text / title tags with the given keywords appears in the result.
