      When I run a report on my website in OSE (SelectAccount" metrics tells me we have 7 "established" root domains and 9 total links. But the detailed report below has many dozens of links. What is metrics telling me?

        Hi there! When searching in OSE we'll deliver the page specific details, screenshot attached. When you go into root domain specific data this will be much larger! Hope this helps.
