edit External link

An external link is a link from a web page to another page that exists on a different website.

This is distinct from an internal link, which is a link from a web page to another page within the same website.

An external link is referred to as an inbound link when you're looking at it from the perspective of the site that's linked to, rather than the site that's hosting the link.
