Moz Report: Number of Domains linking to Domain

[WebRiverGroup]

In the Moz report, what does the "number of domains linking to domain" indicate? I'm analyzing our competitors link profile and noticed some numbers as high as 2369232?

Is there a form that explains the reports a little more in detail?

Thanks,

Hi there, thanks for your question! Are you referring to the Competitive Link Metrics report, which is explained in this help guide? http://moz.com/help/guides/links/competitive-metrics?

Hi,

There is an explanation of the metrics in the Open Site Explorer here: http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer

The "number of domains linking to domain" is the total number of other domains that have at least one link to the site.

You said, " I'm analyzing our competitors link profile and noticed some numbers as high as 2369232? Yes, 2,369,232 is a high number, but is that number linking domains or some other metric like linking pages?

If it is linking domains then you could only expect those sort of numbers for a very large and significant site. If it isn't a site like that then that number must be an error in the report.
