Basic directory statistics are provided within the administration navigation pane. A brief description of each statistic is presented below.
Root Categories
This displays the number of root categories within the directory. A root category is a category which is not allowed link submissions and is only a container category for sub-categories.
Link Categories
This is the number of categories within your directory that are allowed link submissions. These are usually topic-specific categories.
Approved Links
This is the number of links that have been approved and are flagged as "publish to web" within the database.
Links To Approve
This is the number of links that are awaiting approval before they are set live.
Reviews To Approve
This is the number of resource reviews that are awaiting approval before they are set live.
Reported Errors
This is the number of error report submissions that are still awaiting your attention.
Newsletter Subscribers
This is the number of people subscribed to your newsletter.
Total Number Links
This is the total number of link submissions within your directory. This includes both links that are awaiting approval and live links.
Total Number Categories
This is the total number of categories within your directory. This includes both root categories and link categories.
Link to Category Ratio
This presents the ratio of links to categories. This provides you with a balance of resources vs categories. A good link to category ratio would be around 5:1. That's, on average, 5 links within each link category. Root categories are not used within this equation.
