Why Link Auditing Matters

Every link on your page is a signal — to users and to search engines. Messy anchor text, accidental nofollows, or broken internal linking can quietly tank your SEO. This tool makes auditing fast and transparent.

What is Anchor Text?

The visible, clickable text of a hyperlink. Google uses it as a strong ranking signal — it tells crawlers what the linked page is about. Keyword-rich, descriptive anchors outperform generic click here links every time.

Dofollow vs Nofollow

Dofollow links pass PageRank (link equity) to the destination. Nofollow (rel="nofollow") tells Google not to follow or credit the link. Use nofollow for paid links, UGC, and untrusted sources.

UGC & Sponsored Tags

rel="ugc" marks user-generated content (comments, forums). rel="sponsored" marks paid/affiliate links. Google introduced these in 2019 as hints — they help you stay compliant with link scheme policies.

Internal vs External Links

Internal links distribute PageRank across your site and help crawlers discover pages. External links build trust but leak equity. Enter your domain in the field above to get accurate scope classification instantly.

Image Links with No Anchor

An <img> inside an <a> tag with no text produces an empty anchor. Google uses the image alt attribute as a fallback anchor. Flag these and add descriptive alt text to preserve SEO value.

When to Use This Tool

Before publishing any page, during a site audit, when checking a competitor's HTML source, or after a CMS migration. View your page source (Ctrl+U in browser), paste, and scan in seconds — no upload, no login.
