Page-1 results average 84 referring domains, but the floor is 4
Difficulty scores compress a wide spread into one number. We pulled link profiles for the top 10 on 1,100 queries.
— Average referring domains, page 1: 84
— Median: 31
— Weakest page-1 result, 25th percentile: 9
— True floor seen: 4 domains
The gap between average and median is huge because a few link-heavy pages drag the mean up. So what: never judge difficulty by the average competitor. Find the weakest page on page 1, because that is the seat you are actually fighting for, and it often has single-digit links.
Benchmark of the week: half of page-1 pages rank with 31 referring domains or fewer.
