DL_S_MatchingString New A string representation of the source link, which can be used to group duplicate links.
DL_S_DuplicationStatusCode New

An integer representing the duplication classification of the link, as defined by our duplicate link analysis.

# Duplication Classification Description
0 CannotBeClassified

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.

1 PendingClassification

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.

2 NonNotableDuplicate

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.

3 Distinct

These links are either...

  • links that do not have clear duplicates on the same root domain
  • the best single links from any set of duplicates

Duplicate links are not checked across domains, so other links from different domains may look identical.

4 Redirect

As Redirects do not come from traditional links, it is more difficult to say with confidence that they are from duplicate sources.

5 NotableDuplicate

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.
