Practical guide
What Ahrefs Domain Rating measures
Domain Rating is Ahrefs' 0–100 logarithmic metric for the strength of a website's backlink profile. It is useful for comparing domains, but it is not a Google metric and should not be treated as a direct ranking score.
Compare, do not obsess
Use DR alongside referring domains, relevance, traffic and the quality of the pages linking to you.
Track meaningful changes
Small day-to-day fluctuations matter less than a sustained trend after earning legitimate links.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Domain Rating shown here from Ahrefs?
Yes. When the server API key is configured, the tool uses Ahrefs' public Domain Rating API endpoint and displays the required attribution.
Does higher DR guarantee higher Google rankings?
No. DR is a third-party backlink metric. Search rankings depend on many page, query, content, technical and authority signals.
