Explain the Difference Please

So in the attached picture, what does this all mean? Sorry I'm new to this and just trying to gain understanding. What am I missing in RST that rotary golf swing has?

Thanks Tom!

As always, there are a number of other factors that could be at play, but in short: Rotary Golf Swing has a lot more links that are probably from sites with higher page and domain authority.
To have 700 linking C-blocks suggests to me that they might have used press releases in the past. I couldn't find any PRNewswire or PRWeb releases, although I did find a number of suspicious forum links. I certainly wouldn't recommend link building in this way.
My advice to you would be not to worry about what a competitor is doing and to keep working on your own site. I've shown here in about 5 minutes that competitors might be using some very unsavoury tactics that you definitely should not replicate, and so analysing their performance might just lead to a dead end.
It will be a lot tougher to get your domain authority from 34-50 then it was to get it from 0-30, such is the nature of how DA is calculated. Keep producing ways for websites to want to link to your site.
You've got a great topic that allows you to produce a wide range of engaging content. Guest posts from swing gurus could be one, further instructional videos for the swing is another. What about an infographic that, as you scroll down, dissects the swing of a well-known golf pro? I'd love to see that.
Hope this helps in some way.

How Effective Are Links Between The Same Company's Websites With Different Domain Extensions?
Morning! The main competitor of an eCommerce site I'm working on has a total of 31 sites for 31 different countries. Each one of these sites has a different domain extension (.com, .co.uk, .fr, .it etc.), and every single one of these sites' pages links to all the other homepages through a dropdown menu on the navigation bar. When I pop the .co.uk URL (our main competitor) into Open Site Explorer, I'm advised they have a 45,079 links from 475 domains. If I look at 'just discovered' links, most are from their own sites - I guess MOZ picks these up every time a new page is created. Now, these guys are huge in the UK. They rank in the top 10 for pretty much every single search term and, to put it into some kind of perspective, their Search Metrics score is 33,000 compared to our measly 160! Don't get me wrong, they do get some decent links from authoritative sites, but it seem most of their links are from their own sites. How does Google view these? Does my competitor have these thousands of 'internal' backlinks to thank for their current position? I've just checked their .kr URL and this has 12.5 million(!) links from just 450 domains. Do every single one of these links pass equity? Or does Google just look at one from each domain? Thanks, Lewis

Is there a difference between .com backlinks and .co.uk?
(We are a UK based business) I am currently looking for sites for guest posting opportunities and I am not sure whether I should prioritize .co.uk sites or go for .com sites. Does it matter? Is more weight given to .co.uk sites if you are based in the UK?

Attaining quality links from sites of a different language.
Working on a campaign for a Bed & Breakfast within non-english market. The possibilities of establishing quality links is very limited. However, as it is most of the time, there are plenty of english sites we can target. What is the latest news on achieving link presence on a site that does not match your own site's language? Given this campaign relates to travel; there shouldn't be an issue in achieving links on foreign sites, is there? Does the PR flow through just the same?

Am I using my Blog properly? -- Advice Please
Hello... I am just looking for some feedback in regards to the blog on my website. I am using the blog to create unique and fresh content, hoping that it will in turn help my site attract visitors and better rankings... My question is, does each post have to be at least 500 words or is a 300 word post fine? I do put hyperlinks back to the correlating pages on the site inside each of these posts, just wanted some feedback on if everything i write needs to be roughly 500 words..... Here is my blog if you want to take a look at what I've been doing and provide any feedback..... thanks!
