Free Online Anchor Text Extractor Tool

1. Paste the HTML of the page you want to audit into the input box.
2. Enter your domain (e.g. example.com) so links can be classified as internal or external.
3. Scan the table for empty or vague anchor text and rewrite it to be descriptive.
4. Check the rel column to confirm sponsored or untrusted links carry the right attribute.
5. Use the internal/external counts to gauge whether the page links out too much or too little.

Anchor text is the clickable, visible text of a hyperlink. It matters because it gives users and search engines context about the linked page — descriptive anchors like "on-page SEO checklist" pass clearer topical signals than generic ones like "click here" or "read more". A page's internal linking, the pattern of links between your own pages, shapes how crawlers discover content and how authority flows through a site.

This extractor reads the HTML you paste with the browser's parser and tabulates every <a> element: the trimmed anchor text, the href, any rel value, and whether the link is internal or external. You supply your own domain so the tool can classify links — anything pointing to that host (or any relative or anchor link) is internal, everything else external. The rel column surfaces nofollow, sponsored and ugc values so you can confirm paid or untrusted links are annotated correctly per Google's guidelines.

Because it works on pasted markup, you can audit any page's link structure without crawling it — including staging pages and competitor pages whose source you copy. Nothing is fetched or uploaded; the analysis is entirely local.
