Looking For URL Anchor Text Metrics Definitions
-
Running some keyword difficulty reports that are showing some interesting data around URL Anchor Text Metrics. But ti fully understand them, I need some definitions, which I cannot find anyone.
So can someone point me to definitions of these terms:
Exact Anchor Text Links
% Links w/ Exact Anchor Text
Linking Root Domains w/ Exact Anchor Text
% Linking Root Domains w/ Exact Anchor Text
Partial Anchor Text Links
% Links w/ Partial Anchor Text
Partial Anchor Text Root Doms.
% Linking Root Domains w/ Partial Anchor Text
Also, if say Exact Anchor Text Links is bolded purple, that means that URL has more Exact Anchor Text Links than any other URL in the report. Is that correct?
Thanx
David

Hi, I am looking to run an On-Site audit for a website and I'm wondering if there are any tools available online that take the existing Meta Tags on ALL pages of a website and downloads them to a .CSV or .XLS. Would need Meta Title and Meta Description for all pages at the very least. Any suggestions are appreciated - looking for Free or Paid options. Thanks.

Good job! This URL received an grade A ?
What does this mean ? This page still ranks very bad at Google. So what does it mean that it recives a grade A ?Also, if this URL recives Grade A. It should clearly be optmizied very good on the Keyword. Stil its on page 9 in google. That is very very low on this keyword. Alot of bad blogs, foreign pages, pages without the keyword in heading, pages without any good content etc. rank better.Does this score have anything to do with ranking on google ?Something is clearly wrong with this page. The on-grade tool wont tell me what that it is. And probably dont understand either, since it gives A. Is there anywhere I can check this page on what is wrong with it ?http://www.butikksiden.no/archives/5-toffe-canada-goose-jakker and Canada Goose jakker Re-Grade Pa Good Job!

Is there an external tool to check for Link Balance profile (anchor text)?
Hi, Regarding the topic of Link Balance (anchor text from external sites). Is there an external tool you can point to your site or an individual URL that can give you the link balance (branded terms, exact match etc). This article is great:

http://moz.com/blog/anchor-text-distribution-avoiding-over-optimization But it's a lot of work to do for individual pages (of which we have many). Just trying to see if there's a tool out there (Moz or otherwise), that can report on such balance on a page-by-page basis (paste in URL, hit 'Go'). Thanks.

I am looking to create keyword reports filtered by labels
We have roughly 800 keywords and I have created labels for the different groups of keywords. What I would like to do is have weekly or monthly reports sent to me based on the labels associated with the individual keywords. Any ideas on how I can do this? Thanks David
