We fetch the page on our server and extract the anchor text of every link — no cross-site browser request.

The categories

How anchors are classified

Exact-match

The anchor is your target keyword, word for word. Powerful but the biggest over-optimization risk — keep it a minority of your profile.

Partial-match

Contains the keyword inside a longer phrase. Natural and safe — usually the healthy bulk of a profile.

Branded

Your brand name as the anchor. Trustworthy and natural — real sites get plenty of these.

Generic

Filler anchors like "click here" or "read more". Fine in moderation, but they pass weak topical signals.

Naked URL

The raw link as the anchor. Common and natural, especially for citations.

Natural / other

Descriptive phrases that don't contain the exact keyword. Great for diversity and semantic relevance.

There's no official Google ratio. A common safe guideline: exact-match anchors well under ~20–30% of the total, with branded, partial, and natural anchors forming the majority.

Checking one page is a start. Linkilo audits every page automatically.

Linkilo's Anchor Text Profile audits anchor diversity across every internal link on your site, and its AI link engine only ever suggests anchors that already exist in your content — so you build links without tipping into over-optimization.
