SEO Parameters

What Is A Parameter?

Parameters can be categorized into two categories: parameters-values and parameters-links. Parameter-value is a calculated value generated for a given link, for example, Alexa Rank. This means that quantitative value is needed for the given parameter. Parameter-link is a parameter that is simply displayed as a link instead of an actual value. For example, when you click into the SEOquake panel, the Whois link would be considered a parameter-link as it redirects you to a different page.

Parameters are various metrics that are provided by various data providers. These parameters include metrics such as AgeDomain, SEMrush Rank, Pinterest Pins, Alexa Rank, Facebook Likes and many others. You will notice these parameters being displayed within the SEObar, SERP Overlay and other reports offered within SEOquake. Here is a list of all of the parameters offered by SEOquake:
