Extract and analyze internal, external, and mailto links from any webpage.

Auditing the links on a website is a critical part of Technical SEO, site architecture, and competitive analysis.

The Geekflare Link Extractor simplifies this process by parsing the HTML of any given URL and generating a list of all embedded hyperlinks.

Whether you are performing an SEO audit, looking for broken links, or analyzing a competitor's outbound link profile, our tool extracts the data without the need for manual source-code inspection or web crawlers.

When you submit a webpage, the link extractor tool extracts and categorizes the following data points for every link found:

  • Link Category: Automatically groups URLs into Internal, External, and Mailto.
  • Anchor Text: Displays the exact text associated with the hyperlink, helping you evaluate keyword relevance.
  • Rel Attributes: Identifies SEO-specific link attributes such as nofollow, sponsored, ugc, or dofollow links, giving you clear visibility into how search engines treat the outbound links.
  • Element Type: Specifies the HTML tag used to create the link, distinguishing between standard anchor tags <a> and interactive elements like buttons <button>.

You can filter links by category to focus on specific link types. You can also download the output as a CSV file for further analysis.

Geekflare Link Extractor is an essential tool for SEO professionals, web developers, and digital marketers who need to audit page authority flow, verify affiliate link placements.

Frequently Asked Questions

A link extractor tool fetches a webpage and identifies all the hyperlinks — <a href> elements — found in the HTML. It categorizes them as internal (same domain), external (different domain), or mailto (email links), and shows you the anchor text and rel attribute for each one.

  • Internal links point to pages within the same domain (e.g., /about or https://example.com/blog). They help users navigate the site and distribute PageRank between your own pages.
  • External links point to a different domain entirely. They can pass link equity to other sites unless marked rel="nofollow".

A dofollow link (the default) signals to search engines that they should follow the link and pass authority to the destination page. A nofollow link (rel="nofollow") tells crawlers not to follow it and not to pass PageRank. Other rel values like ugc (user-generated content) and sponsored also instruct crawlers to treat the link differently.

Yes. After extraction, you can click Export CSV to download all visible links as a CSV file. The file includes the URL, anchor text, rel attribute, link type, and source element for each link.
