HTML Link Extractor

What is html link extractor?

Link audits start with a list of links. This tool pulls every anchor from the HTML you paste and shows where it points, what the anchor text is and whether it has rel values such as nofollow, sponsored or ugc.

Enter your domain so the tool can separate internal links from external ones. You can copy the full list as CSV for a spreadsheet.

How to use the html link extractor

1. Enter your domain without https://.
2. Paste the HTML of the page.
3. Press Extract and review the table or copy the CSV.

How the html link extractor works

All a elements with an href are read. A link is external if it starts with http and its host differs from your domain. Rel values are read from the rel attribute. Counts are totals of each type.

Worked example

Common uses of the html link extractor

• Internal link audits.
• Checking guest post links.
• Finding nofollow links.
• Finding empty anchors.
• Preparing a link report.

Tips and common mistakes

Use it on your own page to check internal linking and on a guest post to check what links were included.

Look for empty anchors, which are often image links without alt text.

Background: what to know before you rely on it

Links are the pathways that crawlers and users follow. Internal links spread authority around a site and tell search engines which pages matter, while external links connect your content to other sources. Anchor text gives context about the target page, so generic text such as click here wastes an opportunity. Rel values describe the relationship: nofollow tells search engines not to endorse, sponsored marks paid links and ugc marks user generated content. A regular link review keeps a site healthy as it grows.
