Today I would like to ask the community what and how the wallet systems work on block chain.info

So I  make a new wallet for any incoming transaction, does this help add anonymity to my wallets, or does it still come down to my wallet identifier. I am trying understand why people recommend to always use a new wallet for every incoming transaction.

Something doesnt make sense to me….

It can help anonymity but not if they all get spend linked as people can then see all the addresses that belong to you. This might not be a big deal but depends on how anonymous you want to be. Some people don't want others knowing all their addresses or balances so they use new addresses. It doesn't have anything to do with your wallet identifier. That is just essentially your log in name.
