Domain Rating (DR) is an SEO metric that measures a website’s backlink profile on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100. A website that scores higher indicates stronger authority backlinks.Â
Why is important to check Domain Rating?
- Evaluate Website Authority: Domain rating helps to assess a site’s link-building potential and overall strength in search rankings.
- Correlates with Organic Traffic: Higher domain rating websites rank for more keywords. You can make domain rating as an indicator for checking the SEO performance.Â
How is Domain Rating Calculated?
As there is no exact formula for calculating the domain rate. These are the factors that affect the domain rating. Â
- Referring Domains: the number of websites that are linked to a domain.
- Link Quality: When the domain rating is higher, refers to better link quality and sources pass more value.
- Outbound Links: when there are more external links from a referring domain can dilute the domain rating so passed.Â
- Nofollow Links: These don’t have an impact on domain rating (DR) metrics.Â
Unlike URL Rating (UR), which measures the authority of an individual page. Whereas Domain Rating (DR) is a site-wide metric applied to the entire domain.
