Which external pages link to your content, and what does the observed network show?

RESEARCHED · RESEARCHED ·

Researched designNot deployed

Question§

Which external pages link to your content, and what does the observed network show?

Nodes§

External page; Internal page; Domain; Observed hyperlink

Relationship sketch§

  • source page → target page

Evidence inputs§

Actual link observations, collection source, timestamps, anchor and link attributes, coverage limitations.

Implementation§

Analyze observed linking relationships and ownership clusters. Mark third party crawl coverage as partial. Distinguish network measurements from the search engine's internal scoring.

Acceptance checks§

  • Links are checked at their source when practical
  • Collection coverage is documented
  • Local metrics are labeled as locally computed

Do not infer§

NetworkX PageRank, third party domain scores, and Google ranking values are not interchangeable.

Publication boundary§

Public links; private outreach and analysis records.

Source basis§

S09, S39, S43. See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
