no, it means that URLs (or the hash of it) is recorded along with the amount of tries to post there.
<hash of URL1>:<count>
<hash of URL2>:<count>
...
It's basically the target URL history. Same goes for *.host_done where just the domain is counted. Depending on the engine, one or the other file is used to check if a further try should be made.
Sven, if a project that has tiers has links re-verified and one verification fails, does SER then scan any tiered projects at that point, for backlinks pointing at the now-removed URL, or is every tiered link that is made via a tier project recorded for that project having the tiers? Just curious.
A project is only caring for itself and does not inform other projects. However, if you use Re-Verify on the tier projects as well, they will see that a link they build links to is leading to nowhere as the link was removed from the main project and so it will also remove all links going to a removed link from the main project.
