What the Anchor Text Checker does
This tool reads a page and groups its internal anchor text — the clickable words used in links — so you can see how often each phrase is used. It flags generic anchors like "click here" and "read more", plus empty image links, so you can make your internal linking more descriptive.
When to use it
- To replace vague "click here" links with keyword-relevant anchor text.
- To spot over-optimised, repetitive exact-match anchors that can look manipulative.
- To check that image links carry meaningful text instead of being empty anchors.
Why anchor text matters
Anchor text tells both readers and search engines what the linked page is about. Descriptive, varied anchors strengthen the relevance signal between your pages; generic or repetitive ones waste an easy on-page win.
