| DL_DuplicationCode_CannotBeClassified_NonUnique New |
The number of links which cannot be classified by our duplicate link analysis. Equivalent to the duplication classification "Cannot Be Classified" on Site Explorer. To provide a low error rate in noise detection, there are gaps between what is considered, 'distinct, notable, or duplicate'. These links could not be confidently classified into these categories. |
| DL_DuplicationCode_NonNotableDuplicate_NonUnique New |
The number of links which are classified as non-notable duplicates by our duplicate link analysis. Equivalent to the duplication classification "Non-Notable Duplicate" on Site Explorer. Non-Notable Duplicates are copies of links found on the same site that point to the same URL. These links pass little or no Trust Flow and Citation Flow and are considered non-notable copies of links found elsewhere in our link data. |
| DL_DuplicationCode_NotableDuplicate_NonUnique New |
The number of links which are classified as notable duplicates by our duplicate link analysis. Equivalent to the duplication classification "Notable Duplicate" on Site Explorer. Notable Duplicates are links that have clear duplicates from the same domain but ALSO have a positive Trust Flow or Citation Flow score. To preserve a wide range of link analysis techniques, notable duplicate links will be preserved but will be marked as such for you to filter as appropriate. |
| DL_DuplicationCode_Redirect_NonUnique New |
The number of links which are classified as redirects by our duplicate link analysis. Equivalent to the duplication classification "Redirect" on Site Explorer. As Redirects do not come from traditional links, it is more difficult to say with confidence that they are from duplicate sources. |
| DL_DuplicationCode_Distinct_NonUnique New |
The number of links which are classified as distinct by our duplicate link analysis. Equivalent to the duplication classification "Distinct" on Site Explorer. These links are either...
Duplicate links are not checked across domains, so other links from different domains may look identical. The "AFTER NOISE REDUCTION" count from Majestic Site Explorer summary uses the sum of this count, combined with all other DL_DuplicationCode_*_NonUnique counts, excluding DL_DuplicationCode_NonNotableDuplicate_NonUnique. |
| DL_DuplicationCode_PendingClassification_NonUnique New |
The number of links which are yet to be classified by our duplicate link analysis. Equivalent to the duplication classification "Pending Classification" on Site Explorer. Duplicate link analysis is a complex operation, and there are sometimes delays between link discovery and classification. To quickly bring you data, we do not wait for full classification before including links in the index. |
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Calling this command in a loop to look up backlink counts for each of the many URLs separately is slow. | Batch multiple URLs or domains into a single request to limit overhead and provide a very substantial increase in performance. |
| Certain URLs return backlink counts that are inconsistent with the results obtained on the webpage. | Check that Status is not set to "MayExist" as this means that backlink counts are less than specified backlink values. |
| Attempts to obtain backlink counts for a specific domain return the counts for the homepage. | Avoid adding protocols (http://) or any other characters that are not part of valid domain name as this will result in the system returning data for that URL. |
| Counts returned by this command are inconsistent with AnalyseIndexItem/DownloadBackLinks. | Please check that your filtering options aren't too narrow. |
