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.
