Quick interpretation

Anchor text and rel attributes affect crawling, trust, and internal linking signals.

  • Internal helps distribute PageRank across your site
  • nofollow hints not to pass link signals

Anchor Text Extractor: audit links on a page

This tool pulls every anchor on a page, resolves URLs, and shows follow/nofollow plus internal/external breakdown. Useful for on-page SEO audits and internal linking reviews.

Common problems

  • Empty anchors (icons only) can reduce accessibility and clarity.
  • Too many external links may dilute internal linking focus.
  • Missing sponsored/ugc can be a compliance risk for paid/user content.

FAQ

What is an anchor text extractor?

An anchor text extractor scans a page and lists every <a href> link along with its anchor text and attributes. It helps you audit internal linking, outbound links, and how links are labeled for SEO and accessibility.

Does this tool execute JavaScript?

No. It fetches the raw HTML response only. Links that appear only after JavaScript rendering (SPA frameworks, delayed menus, client-side widgets) may not be captured.

How is anchor text detected if the link has no visible text?

If the visible text is empty (for example, icon-only links), the tool falls back to aria-label and then title. If those are also missing, the anchor text will be reported as empty.

How do you classify internal vs external links?

We compare the final page host with the link host after resolving the URL. If both hosts match, it’s internal. If the host differs, it’s external. Non-web hrefs like mailto:, tel:, javascript:, and # are labeled as other.

How do you detect follow vs nofollow, UGC, and sponsored?

The tool reads the rel attribute. If it contains nofollow, the link is marked as nofollow. If it contains ugc or sponsored, those flags are shown as well. If nofollow is absent, the tool reports the link as follow.

Why do I see “duplicates” in issues?

Duplicates usually mean the same destination URL and anchor text appear multiple times on the page (menus, repeated blocks, footer links). This is not always bad, but it can inflate link counts and reduce clarity in audits.

Why do some links look strange or incomplete?

Pages often use relative URLs, protocol-relative URLs (//), or tracking parameters. The tool resolves relative URLs into absolute ones based on the final page URL, so you can export a clean list for analysis.

How can I use this report for SEO?

Use it to verify internal anchor distribution, find thin or generic anchors (like “click here”), detect missing sponsored/ugc on paid/user links, and review outbound link policies. Export CSV to filter and group anchors in spreadsheets.
