Nice post!
Anchor Text is the text that describes the link like:
<a href="link.html">Anchor Text</a>

Another technique is the use of images, by adding "alt" tags to boost keyword content/description.
This can be slightly effective, but not when stuffed full of keywords!
A good, relevant domain name is also important, and page names/meta tags all help.
<img src="image.gif" alt="Your alt text here">

PR is an indicator. It does not raise your position anywhere.
The power of the alt tag is diminished if the image is not a hyperlink.
links should be constructed like
for usability and SEO.
It takes more effort and we all skip that one from time to time but it can be valuable.

PR is a google internal tool calculating the number of inbound links, outbound links, some freshness, some bits of who knows what.
The exact weight of each is unknown but the links are the important things.
They were going to replace it with Trust Rank which might have worked from a USA perspective but would have penalised anyone from a smaller city or country and talk of it has quietened.
SERPs are where you sit in the search engine results. These are hard because the search you're thrilled to be #1 on might not be used by anyone, so it's a hollow victory. The way they do search for your product might be the one result you stink on.
People looking to sell links rely on PR because it's an easy one stop indicator.

Yeah, alt tags are good. And by the way, "who you link to" doesn't affect your position at all, it's just a false myth.

Well, who you link to can matter, because if you link to a lot of sites on one page, that page (or maybe the whole site) is categorized as a link farm and then that's bad, but other then that it doesn't matter.

Wait a second, maybe who you link to does matter. Don't you get penalized by Google is you link to illegal sites, like warez (I don't know what that is except that it's bad, ha) and other things of the sort?

By the way, title tags also raise your position, heavily. If the keyword is mentioned in the title, that definately helps. It's very hard to get #1-#5 without the keyword being in the title.

Sarah, what is PR and how do we get it raised then?
PR is nothing but a numerical no. that shows the weight of your site in Search Engine. You can increase the PR by getting more and more quality backlinks. Process to get it is Articles submissions, Directory submissions, Forum postings, Blog, Press release etc etc... Try this.
