        Hi,

        External links are links where the user goes to another domain.
        For www.dare2b.com I see that there is a subdomain for language: http://www.en.dare2b.com/
        Google sees subdomains as a new domain, so this will likely explain the high number of external links here.

        See this article from Moz for more info about external links: https://moz.com/learn/seo/external-link

          In addition to Mark, External links are those links are pointing out from your site to other domain, subdomain or page.
