Title Tag w/ Anchor Tags

[Graham]

Question for the SEO experts out there

Is there any point in using title tags combined with the anchor tag? For example which of these would be better:

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.somesite.com">Poker</a> 


OR

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.somesite.com" title="Poker">Poker</a> 


Would there be any value in mixing up the text in the title tag vs. the anchor text?

SEO - NO, Usability - YES

For instance,

A link like "review" doesn't say anything about which review it actually is. That's when the title tag comes in. If you have the anchor "review" and the title "Click here for the X Poker Room review" then it's correctly used. For SEO, for what I know about it, it's a minor thing. I'd say: "use them, but don't abuse them."
