Selection conditions
Thresholds for domain metrics and archived snapshots
On this page§2
The "Selection conditions" panel consists of two groups, each with its own period over which the data is counted.
§1The "Domain metrics" group
- DR — minimum Domain Rating.
- Total backlinks — minimum backlinks over the domain's entire lifetime, regardless of the chosen period.
- Backlinks — minimum backlinks over the chosen period; the second field is the minimum total traffic of the referring sites. The condition counts as filled in if either of the two fields is set.
- EDU, GOV, UNI, AC — thresholds for links from educational and government domains; for each you can set a link count and traffic.
§2The "Domain history" group
- Total snapshots — minimum number of archived snapshots over the period. The condition is also satisfied by a threshold on any status code below: it is enough to fill in either "Total snapshots" or at least one code.
- The status-code grid 200, 301, 302, 404, 500, 502, 503 — the minimum number of snapshots with each code. For example, "200 ≥ 10" means at least ten snapshots where the site responded successfully.
There are no required conditions: a task is created once at least one condition — any of them — is filled in. The "Create task" button stays disabled while no valid domain has been added, while there are more domains than your limit, or while no condition is set.
Frequently used condition sets are worth saving as presets.
