Analysis conditions
The "Link selection", "Thresholds" and "Output" groups
On this page§3
§1Link selection
Each row is enabled with a checkbox; a disabled row shows a dash instead of a value.
| Condition | Options |
|---|---|
| Period | Do not show (default, no date restriction) · Last 24 hours · 7 days · month · 3 months · 6 months · year · 2 years · 5 years |
| Link types | All · Dofollow · Nofollow |
| Grouping | Group similar · One link per domain · All backlinks |
| DR, from | Minimum DR of the linking page (0–100) |
| Link limit | How many links to return per domain (1–1000, default 15). The higher the limit, the more expensive the check. The row is not present with every metrics source. |
§2Thresholds
A table with "count" and "traffic" columns across the rows Traffic, EDU, GOV, UNI, AC, BEST LINK. Set minimum link requirements here: for example, only count referring sites with traffic of at least N, or require links from EDU domains.
An enabled BEST LINK row adds a column of the same name to the results and to the Excel export — the number of links that passed the best links filter.
If "Link types" and/or "Grouping" are disabled, the application asks "Use default values?" and, on the "Continue" button, substitutes "Types: All" and "Group: One link per domain".
§3Output
The group has a single row — "Link quality": all links, only the best, non-spam, or only low-quality. The same drop-down list has an extra item, "Link settings…", which is not available with every metrics source. See the Link quality section for details.
