Site Explorer Results - Linking Domains Tab

[bridgeway04-34677]

I have a competitor who has the following Linking Root Domains numbers on the Linking Domains tab and was wondering if some one could explain what the numbers mean?

opera.com - 205,515
dmoz.org - 97,752

prweb.com - 198,092

quantcast.com - 115,748

tinyurl.com - 443,540

jquery.com - 57,886

URL: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/domains?site=www.verypdf.com%2F

Thanks,

Brad

It means that each one of those domains have that many root domains linking to them.

Opera.com has 205,515 root domains linking to them.

Does that make sense?

Those numbers represent the, "Number of unique root domains (e.g. *.example.com) containing at least one linking page to this URL."

It is saying the number of domains that are linking to those urls. Since PRWEB.com is HUGE, a lot of websites are linking to it.

Makes sense?

As Mike D and Mike G said, they basically tell you how important domains are the domains (in terms of number of backlinks). It helps you guage and measure their strength in your head.
