Reports read the Common Crawl web graph, an open map of the links between domains across the public web. It is domain-level: any link from any page on one domain to any page on another counts once. The index refreshes with each graph release, roughly monthly.
Authority is a domain's position in the graph's PageRank order on a log scale: 100 × (1 − ln rank ÷ ln ranked domains). It is comparable across domains in the same release, not with other vendors' scores.
Not included: individual page URLs, anchor text, nofollow, and links on pages Common Crawl did not fetch. Treat totals as a consistent sample of the web, not a complete census.
