Optionally enter your domain to help classify internal vs. external links accurately. The tool extracts every <a href> and produces an audit: total count, internal vs. external breakdown, nofollow \/ sponsored \/ UGC rel-attribute distribution, anchor-text quality breakdown, and a warning if duplicate hrefs (multiple links to the same URL) are detected.<\/p>\n<h2>Why this tool matters<\/h2>\n<p>Page link count and anchor-text quality are core SEO signals. Pages with under 5 links are often crawl dead-ends. Pages with over 120 links dilute the page-authority each link passes. Generic anchor text (&#8220;click here&#8221;) wastes the SEO value of every link. The tool surfaces all three issues at once.<\/p>\n<h2>Common use cases<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Auditing internal-link strength across pages<\/li>\n<li>Comparing link distribution to a high-ranking competitor<\/li>\n<li>Detecting unintentional generic anchors (&#8220;click here&#8221;, &#8220;read more&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>Finding orphan pages with insufficient inbound links<\/li>\n<li>Checking that sponsored and affiliate links are properly tagged<\/li>\n<li>Identifying duplicate links that could be consolidated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The right number of links per page<\/h2>\n<p>Google\\u2019s old advice (&#8220;keep below 100 links&#8221;) is now relaxed \u2014 modern guidance is &#8220;use as many links as serve the user.&#8221; That said, pages with 120+ outbound links generally distribute page-rank thinly enough to hurt every linked destination. For long-form pillar pages, 30-80 is a healthy range. For navigation pages and resource hubs, higher counts are fine.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Why classify internal vs. external?<\/strong><br \/>Internal links pass authority within your site (boost your rankings). External links pass authority OUT (a small SEO cost but a major user-experience win when relevant). The balance matters \u2014 but no fixed ratio is right for every page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When should I use nofollow, sponsored, or UGC?<\/strong><br \/>Use sponsored for paid\/affiliate links. Use UGC for user-generated content (forum posts, comments). Use nofollow for low-trust outbound links. Modern Google treats these as hints not directives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why warn about duplicate hrefs?<\/strong><br \/>Multiple links to the same URL split the anchor-text signal Google reads. Consolidate when possible \u2014 pick the strongest anchor and link once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\\u2019s the difference between internal and &#8220;external&#8221;?<\/strong><br \/>We classify based on domain. If your domain field is empty we use the canonical URL from the HTML, if present. Subdomain handling is permissive: links to www.example.com and example.com both classify as internal if either is your domain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rt-cta\">\n<h3>Need a full internal-link audit and link-strategy plan?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0;opacity:.95\">Riman Agency runs internal-link optimization programs that move rankings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/contact\/\">Book an Internal Link Audit<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Links Count Checker Paste any page\\u2019s HTML and instantly see the total link count, broken down by internal vs. external, dofollow vs. nofollow, and anchor-text quality.
