What is Followed Linking Root Domains ?

[tiffany1103]

Is it to just have different URLs pointing to my site? I understand that if 1 site posts 5 of my URLs, it only counts as 1.  I am just not understanding how I increase this number if link building is now frowned up.  Thoughts?

What is "the first number" you are referring to? "10", "5", or "15"

[SamuelScott]

Moz's help page here states: "The number of domains with at least one followed link to any page on the root domain."

Example: Say that website A has ten links to your site and website B has five links to your site. This means that you have two domains that have a total of 15 links to your site. "Followed linking root domains" refers to the first number. The "followed" part means that the other websites have not applied "nofollow" to the links.

The whole topic of linkbuilding and link earning is very big and complicated, so I'll refer you to this category of Moz posts and guides to peruse at your leisure. The general rule today is to "earn" links rather than "build" them -- meaning that you should use social media, content, public relations and more to get others to give you links rather than you building the links yourself.

I hope that helps!
