Is the diversification of Anchor Texts of Internal Links, necessary?

[brian]

I don't understand why the question of diversification of anchor texts is coming. Google rank pages not domains. So, anchor text present within a page has to be different in order to classify.

But if you are building content for real audience then why there should be a situation like this anyway?! Where you have to put the same link twice in a page so their anchor texts has to be the same (in this case diversification as you asked). You can just write like this 'as I provided the link earlier' or just 'as I said earlier' or even 'as I already shared the link earlier in the article'.

I hope you are getting my point.
