Page authority. We used a score (on a 100-point scale) that was developed by MOZ. It predicts how well a specific page will rank on various search engines.
Reply ratio. This is the percentage of replies sent by the user.
Retweet ratio. This ratio is the percentage of tweets that are retweeted by the user.
