Imagine a distributor asking whether your device works with an older controller. Twenty citations sound reassuring until you notice that fourteen point to the same site. That could be the manufacturer’s definitive compatibility list. It could also be an old reseller post. The difference determines what to commission next.
Measure two kinds of concentration
In this example the top domain supplies 14/20 links, or 70 percent. Count repeated links consistently, then drill into URLs. Fourteen separate articles and fourteen appearances of a single buying guide deserve different follow-up. Note syndicated copies separately when several domains repeat one original text.
Read the dependency before diversifying
For a recurring compatibility claim, verify it against a current specification. For a buyer preference, look for an independent comparison that explains its method. Keep the strongest original source even when it dominates the chart. The useful outcome is an answer with support appropriate to its claim, not a prettier distribution of domains.
A test for your next placement
Take the sentence most often repeated by resellers. Ask what a second source could independently verify: an installation with that controller, a test date or a firmware limit. A second placement that repeats the sentence without checking it adds distribution, not corroboration. Pay for reach only if reach is the objective.
