These two types of anchor texts are considered potentially toxic because a high number of backlinks containing website's target keyword (money) or brand name and another target keyword (compound) as the anchor text can be seen as suspicious to Google. 

The other types of anchor texts (branded, organic, other, naked, and empty) are considered less potentially toxic.
