Link Extractor Tool

A link extractor tool crawls a webpage and extracts all hyperlinks found in the HTML. It shows you the URL, anchor text, link type (internal or external), and rel attributes (nofollow, dofollow, sponsored, ugc). It's used by SEOs to audit link profiles, check internal linking structure, and identify broken or toxic links.

Internal links point to other pages within the same domain. External links point to a different domain. Internal links distribute PageRank within your site; external links pass authority to other sites. A healthy page typically has more internal links than external, with strategic external links to authoritative sources.

A nofollow link has the rel='nofollow' attribute, which tells search engines not to pass PageRank to the linked page. Google introduced nofollow in 2005 to combat spam. In 2019, Google added 'sponsored' (paid links) and 'ugc' (user-generated content). Nofollow links can still drive referral traffic even without passing SEO value.

For a typical blog post, 3–10 contextual internal links is healthy. Homepage and pillar pages can have 20–50+ internal links as navigation. The key is that each link should be meaningful and help users navigate — not just added for SEO. Google values contextual, relevant internal links that guide users to related content.

Anchor text is the clickable text of a hyperlink. Google uses anchor text as a relevance signal — if many sites link to your page with the anchor "best CRM software," Google understands that's what your page is about. For internal links, descriptive anchor text helps Google understand page topics. Over-optimized exact-match anchor text on external links can trigger Google's spam filters.

Yes! Enter any public URL to extract all visible links from that page. This is useful for competitive analysis — see where competitors link internally, what external sources they cite, and how they structure their internal linking. For full backlink profiles, you'd need a dedicated backlink tool.
