Google’s John Mueller reiterated one thing he mentioned earlier than, he mentioned on Twitter “there is no such thing as a goal approach to depend hyperlinks.” He mentioned this in 2019 when he mentioned, “counting hyperlinks on the net appropriately is technically inconceivable, and everybody simply makes completely different approximations & assumptions.”
John later added saying, “do not give attention to the variety of hyperlinks any explicit instrument reveals — there is no such thing as a “right” approach to depend hyperlinks, interpretations differ wildly.” “Consider hyperlinks as a means that individuals can attain your web site, not as a metric of its personal. The variety of hyperlinks any instrument reveals isn’t a rating issue,” he added.
Right here is that new tweet the place he mentioned this:
There is no such thing as a goal approach to depend hyperlinks. As for that report, take a look at the docs 🙂

He then posted this:

The late Russ Jones in 2019 echoed John’s assertion and when you bear in mind, Russ ran quite a lot of Moz’s instruments round counting hyperlinks (I’m simplifying plying what he did).
Agreed. Which is why when presenting information we needs to be as clear as potential about how it’s collected, counted, what assumptions are made, and many others.
