Can someone break down 'page level link metrics' for me?

Sorry for the, again, basic question - can someone define page level link metrics for me?

Do you mean in terms of tracking views of links clicked? Event tracking on Google Analytics is great for that. Here's a guide on event tracking and virtual page views that should help - http://www.koozai.com/blog/analytics/how-to-track-clicks-on-a-link-in-google-analytics-7721/

I was looking at the ranking factors 2011 and the most important ranking factor is 'Page Level Link Metrics' - what is it?!

That refers to the number of inbound links, linking domains, and linking C blocks that point to a specific page.

Basically getting more links to your page about blue widgets will increase that pages rankings.

Perfect, thanks.
