There is something bad about the title attribute. Screen readers read everything on the screen, so there's already an overload of information, and when the title text matches the anchor text, the user hears the same thing twice, which can be very confusing and annoying.

Also, title text has no effect on SEO, as far as I'm aware, whereas anchor text does, right? Maybe the title of the article should be "Pump Up Your SEO with Strong Anchor Text & Blank Title Attributes" ;) Looking forward to reading it, whoever does end up writing it!
