Read the method →Fourteen of the fourteen models returned a source list in this edition: five return the pages they cited and nine the search results they consulted. These counts come from 28 of the 28 answers that named Retention.com and are not a share of its labels.
110 of the 123 domain citations in answers naming Retention.com came from a third party's page. Thirteen were to the publisher's own pages (the Gane Index), which the models cite like any other source; they are not counted as a third party.
Pages are listed as the models cited them.

Every page retention.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated.
