By default, the rank
, url_rank
, and domain_rank
values are presented on a 0–1000 scale in the results of the Content Analysis API endpoints. However, you can change the scale to 0–100 using the rank_scale
parameter in the request.
When you specify the rank_scale
parameter as one_hundred
, all of the rank values in the response will be converted and displayed as values on a 0–100 scale. To convert and validate the rank values, we utilize the following formula:
sin(rank / 636.62) * 100
In this formula, rank stands for rank
, url_rank
, or domain_rank
values calculated using the 0–1000 scale, and 636.62 is our proprietary coefficient for correctly interpreting the values on a 0–100 scale.
For example, if the domain rank is 694 on the 0–1000 scale, then after applying the formula it becomes: sin(694 / 636.62) * 100 = 88.6, which will be rounded to the nearest whole number and displayed as 89.
