Links and reputation

Referring domain

Also known as: referring domain

A unique domain with at least one link to the analyzed website.

A practical example

One hundred links from one domain still count as one referring domain.

What should I know?

Counts depend on a tool's database scope and freshness.

Links and reputation in practice

Source context and credibility matter, not just link count. Distinguish natural coverage, labeled advertising, and manipulation. Tool providers' proprietary metrics help comparisons but are not official search engine scores.
