Domain Rating (DR)
What is domain rating (dr)?
Domain Rating is Ahrefs' 0–100 measure of the strength of a website's backlink profile. Like DA, it is a third-party estimate rather than an official search engine metric.
Why it matters
DR responds mainly to the number and strength of referring domains. A site can have high DR and almost no organic traffic, which is a common sign of a link network.
Always cross-check DR against organic traffic and keyword rankings before paying for a placement.
