Differences between metrics

[familjesmycken]

I am trying to understand the differences between metrics for page, subdomain and root domain. Especially as the results compared to my competitors differs in the different metrics.

My site:

Kind regards

Hi Pontus,

The 3 metrics are measuring links pointing to specific place.

Page : In the example you gave that is looking only at links pointing to familjesmycken.se - no sub pages, other domain etc.

Subdomain: This will include links to any other pages on that subdomain, so a link to  familjesmycken.se/somepage.htm or familjesmycken.se/myfolder/somepage.html would also be counted AS WELL AS the ones for that page.

Root domain: This would count links pointing to any other subdomain on the familjesmycken.se domain as well. So links to www.familjesmycken.se www.familjesmycken.se/mypage.html sub.familjesmycken.se/folder/page.htm etc would all count

Is that any clearer?
