Internal Anchor Text Dilema

I'm working on a project that has a demo page. The page is framed, the top 10% is one frame with the controls and drop down menu to view all versions of the content. The bottom 90% is the second frame that displays the content.

The URI to this demo page stays the same regardless of which demo content is being viewed.

My question, when linking to the demo page from each individual content description what should be the link text? Currently it's "content name/version" + "demo".

I'm assuming that its not a good thing that I have 200 pages of great content but each one has a link pointing to the demo using slightly different anchor text, the demo page is the same afterall. Will I be penalized? Should I quickly rename the links to all be the same?

Thanks for your input.

Frames is always a bad idea. Use server side includes and/or CSS to do the same thing.

It's not feasible to do it that way on this project, each demo is already its own index page that already uses include functions.

We've gone over the options.

Just worried about linking to it using 200+ (possibly up to 2000) different anchor texts from the same site.

1 uri, (view demo) vs ("product name" demo) with product name different on each link to it.

view demo has about zero value as anchor text. Product name demo has some but 200+ different anchor texts pointing to the same page... bad?
