Internal link & anchor text extractor

Why internal links and anchor text matter

Internal links are how authority and context flow through your site. They help Google discover new pages, show which pages you consider important, and establish topical relationships between articles. A page with no internal links pointing to it is a page Google may struggle to find or value.

Anchor text — the visible, clickable words of a link — is the label that travels with that signal. When you link to a guide with the anchor 'light roast brewing guide', you tell Google what the destination is about. Vague anchors like 'click here' or 'read more' waste that opportunity, passing a link with no descriptive context attached.

How to use the link extractor

Paste a page's HTML and enter your domain. The tool parses every anchor tag in the browser and returns a sortable breakdown — no crawl, no upload.

• See every link with its exact anchor text and destination URL.
• Get each link classified as internal, external, in-page anchor, or other.
• Spot rel attributes — nofollow and sponsored — and links that open in a new tab.
• Catch empty anchors and generic phrases like 'click here' that need rewriting.
• Use the internal-vs-external counts to gauge whether a page links out enough — or too much.

What good internal linking looks like

Strong internal linking is descriptive, relevant, and deliberate. Every important page should be reachable in a few clicks from the homepage, and cornerstone content should collect links from the related articles that support it.

Write anchors that would make sense read out of context — they should describe the destination, naturally include relevant keywords, and vary rather than repeating the exact same phrase site-wide. Link where it genuinely helps the reader, not to hit a quota. Audit a page with this tool, replace the 'click here' anchors with specific ones, and you've improved both usability and the relevance signal in one pass.
