In OSE "Followed Linking Root Domains" = "links from homepages"

[gerardoH]

In OSE's, "Followed Linking Root Domains" are defined as "The number of root domains that have at least one followed link to a page or domain." Does this mean that if one of my competitors has, let's say, 1000 followed linking root domains, they have a link pointing to them on the homepage of 1000 other sites?

Thanks for your help!

Your competitor has 1000 different websites linking to them.  It could be from any page on their site to any page on your site.

It's not necessarily their home page.
