   The Sites Pointing In statistic is compiled from Alexa crawl of the Web. When Alexa crawler finds a site that has a link to yours, that is one Site Linking In. Sites Linking In are calculated on a "site to site" basis. This means that if ten sites have links to your site, that is ten Sites Linking In. But if one site has ten links to your site, that is only one Site Linking In. This statistic is updated quarterly. If links are not used by Alexa Toolbar users, they might be removed from the listings when Sites Linking In are updated.
