Top Linked Domains Chart

The Top Linked Domains Chart is a powerful visualization tool that helps you identify which external websites you link to most frequently across your content. This feature provides valuable insights into your content's outbound linking patterns, helping you understand your content's relationship with other websites in your industry.

The Top Linked Domains Chart displays a graphical representation of the external websites (domains) that your content links to most frequently. The chart shows:

• The domain names of external websites you link to
• The number of outbound links to each domain
• A visual comparison of link frequency using easy-to-read bar charts

Why This Matters For Your Content Strategy

Understanding which external domains you link to most frequently can help you:

1. Identify Key Relationships: Discover which external resources you rely on most heavily
2. Evaluate Link Diversity: Ensure you're not over-relying on a single source
3. Audit Content Quality: Review whether your most-linked domains are authoritative sources
4. Recognize Partnership Opportunities: Identify potential collaboration partners based on linking patterns
5. Track Content Cohesion: See how your content connects with the broader web ecosystem

How to Access and Use the Top Linked Domains Chart

Step 1: Navigate to the Content Analysis Section

Find the "Content Analysis" section in your content menu.

Step 2: Select Your Project

From the dropdown menu labeled "Select Project," choose the specific project you want to analyze. The system will automatically load the first available project if you have any.

Step 3: Choose a Content Cluster (Optional)

For a more focused analysis, you can select a specific content cluster from the "Select Cluster" dropdown menu.

• Selecting "All Clusters" will show data across your entire project
• Selecting a specific cluster will filter the results to show only links from that content area

Step 4: Interpret the Chart

The chart displays:

• Domain names on the left axis
• Number of outbound links on the bottom axis
• Pink bars representing the link count for each domain
• The exact number of links displayed on each bar

Step 5: Take Action Based on Insights

Based on what you see in the chart, consider:

• Are you linking to authoritative sources?
• Is there a healthy diversity in your outbound links?
• Are there opportunities to develop relationships with frequently linked domains?

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an "outbound link"?

An outbound link is any hyperlink in your content that points to an external website (not your own website).

Why don't I see any data in my chart?

If your chart shows "No Data," it could mean:

• You haven't created any content in the selected project yet
• Your content doesn't contain external links
• You need to select a different project or cluster

Best Practices for Managing Outbound Links

1. Diversify your sources: Avoid over-reliance on a single external domain
2. Link to authoritative websites: Ensure your outbound links point to reputable sources
3. Regularly audit your top linked domains: Review whether they still represent quality resources
4. Consider relationship-building: Reach out to domains you frequently link to for potential collaborations
5. Maintain relevance: Ensure external links provide additional value to your readers
