Google’s John Mueller reiterated one thing he mentioned earlier than, he mentioned on Twitter “there isn’t a goal technique to rely hyperlinks.” He mentioned this in 2019 when he mentioned, “counting hyperlinks on the internet appropriately is technically unattainable, and everybody simply makes totally different approximations & assumptions.”
John later added saying, “do not concentrate on the variety of hyperlinks any specific instrument reveals — there isn’t a “appropriate” technique to rely hyperlinks, interpretations differ wildly.” “Consider hyperlinks as a manner that individuals can attain your website, not as a metric of its personal. The variety of hyperlinks any instrument reveals shouldn’t be a rating issue,” he added.
Right here is that new tweet the place he mentioned this:
There isn’t any goal technique to rely hyperlinks. As for that report, try the docs 🙂

The late Russ Jones in 2019 echoed John’s assertion and for those who bear in mind, Russ ran a number of Moz’s instruments round counting hyperlinks (I’m simplifying plying what he did).
Agreed. Which is why when presenting knowledge we needs to be as clear as doable about how it’s collected, counted, what assumptions are made, and so forth.
