What many people miss about Anselm's argument is that it is based on an ontology that essentially identifies existence with goodness. Arguments that attempt to derive existence from extreme badness are obviously wrong under that premise. On top of that, existence would not be considered an attribute of arguments themselves. You have trouble with this point yourself, where you quickly replace it with a notion of "being made". Speaking of which, existence would not be considered an attribute of acts, either.
