Anchors contain a key query, as this keyword is essential for search engine ranking.
Non-anchor links carry equal weight they represent simple hyperlinks, and user interaction plays a key role as it creates access for search robots; bots go the site and subsequent pages, that helps your project.
Updates are shared through tools like Majestic, SEMrush, and Ahrefs. In cases where backlink counts are lower for a specific tool, I report on the service with a larger number in backlink volume due to indexing delays.
