What do these link terms mean?

[sgarrels]

I'm not sure what all of the different link terms mean:

-External, followed links

-Internal, nofollowed links

-External, nofollowed links

-Internal, no followed links

-Total linking domains

-Followed linking domains

What are the differences?

Which metric will indicate the total # of other sites that are linking to my site?

Thank you!

That will be 'Total linking domains' . It's the number of different sites that are linking to yours. The second one that otherwise would be used is the sum of the two external links (follow/nofollow). That's the number that you'd get if you take the number of links from every individual name.
