ipeds.ed.gov

Domain scores measure ed.gov as a whole: every subdomain's links rolled up into one node of Common Crawl's domain-level web graph. Host scores measure the exact hostname ipeds.ed.gov. WWW scores cover the www variant of that hostname, which the graph tracks as its own entry since January 2026 (before that, www and bare host were merged). A big gap between domain and host usually means the domain's authority lives on other subdomains. PageRank is link-endorsement authority: how much weight the sites linking here carry themselves. Harmonic centrality measures reach: how close this site sits to the rest of the web when following links, which favors broadly connected sites over ones boosted by a few heavy linkers. All are normalized 0 to 100 within each crawl snapshot; a dash means that series does not exist for this site.

Unique linking domains seen in Common Crawl's link graphs. This is a different dataset than the 0-100 authority scores above: these are raw counts, host-level for ipeds.ed.gov and domain-level for ed.gov with all its subdomains combined. Common Crawl covers a large sample of the web, not all of it, so treat counts as comparable between sites rather than absolute totals.

Common Crawl publishes two link graphs. The DOMAIN graph connects whole domains: every link from any page of one domain to any page of another. This table shows the highest-authority domains linking to ed.gov (including its subdomains), ranked by the linker's PageRank. The table shows the top 1,000; the download carries the full stored list (up to 10,000 linkers) as JSON. Click a linker for its own site profile.
