About this tool
Over-optimized anchors are a classic Penguin trigger. Paste your anchor list (or fetch a page to extract its outbound anchors) and get a classified distribution — branded, exact match, partial match, naked URL, generic and image — benchmarked against natural-profile ranges.
How to use the Anchor Text Analyzer
- Paste anchors (one per line) with your brand and target keyword.
- Review the classified distribution chart.
- Rebalance: natural profiles are dominated by branded and URL anchors.
Frequently asked questions
