Domain Scope
There are three scopes for domains that define the scope we are referring to. The difference needs be clearly understood to avoid confusion.
![Domain Scope](https://smart.linkresearchtools.com/media/blogs/docs/quick-uploads/domain-scope/_evocache/domain-description-image.png/fit-1280x720.png?mtime=1581933579)
For a given registered domain example.com we have
- Root Domain scope - i.e. all links referring from/to
*.example.com
- Sub Domain scope - i.e. all links referring from/to
blog.example.com
- Page scope, or URL scope - i.e. all links referring from/to a specific page
https://blog.example.com/links.html
- TLD referring only to the .com extension.
