Domain Rating (DR)
182 views
Domain Rating, or DR, is a metric developed by Ahrefs that scores your website's backlink strength on a scale of 0 to 100. A DR of 70 means your site has a strong profile of quality, trustworthy backlinks — which signals authority to search engines.
DR increases when you earn backlinks from reputable, high-authority websites. It drops when you accumulate spammy or low-quality links. While DR isn't a direct Google ranking factor, it's one of the best indicators of how competitive your site is in search results. Focus on earning quality links from relevant sites to steadily build your domain rating.
