We do have a traditional inverted index over anchor text. That's just one aspect of our data set though.

Originally, that was a larger focus and that's the name we've always called it. I could see how that might be confusing.

However, I do think the common name for the data that we collect is called a backlink index, at least in our industry.

Ah, that's pretty neat that you have an inverted index in there. I'm about to build one for the Wayback machine.
