A referring domain is a website that links to another site.
The more powerful the referring domain is, the more it will tend to positively influence the ranking of your website in Google’s search results. To measure the power of a domain, we speak about Domain Authority.
Nowadays, the number of referring domains is one of the essential ranking criteria in Google's search results. Even if you’ve got a high authority website that links to you, it takes more to prove to Google that you are relevant. That’s why we want your site to have many different domains which link towards you.
Warning:
We’d rather have 10 links from ten different sites than ten links from the same site, even if this website is a very popular one.
