      Hello,

      My SEO audit on my site shows we have 858 external links with missing anchor, report shows Target URL and Source URL. How I can fix external links with missing anchor?

      None of them looks like spam, my target URL is all from our Social Media. Twitter, Google Plus, Linkedin, Pinterest, Facebook ...

      Here is the link to the the excel spread shit report and you can see it yourself. https://na53.salesforce.com/sfc/p/60000000IcOQ/a/f2000000UVi7/hBZ6Z1tGEFcJOTvVtfjYtYhi_HTw8fRqe9SMjuWcdOA

      We use ''Hootsuite'' to  shrink the URL and post in to our social media, is that maybe we having this problem now?

      Thank you,

            Hello James,

            ''Missing anchor text''

            We are using Wordpress for our site. I'm not sure how it was configured. Any information about this I can learn?

            Thank you,
