Score factors

  • Domain Rating

    DR 60 contributes most of the score (stronger domains compound).

  • Link type

    Dofollow - can pass PageRank / link equity.

Guide

How to think about backlink value

A dofollow link from DR 70 usually beats ten dofollow links from DR 10. This calculator makes that curve visible.

Nofollow links still help with referral traffic and brand searches, but they should not be your primary ranking bet.

Check live DR with the Ahrefs Domain Rating tool, then score the opportunity here before you buy a slot or write a guest post.

Explore more on free ScrollLaunch tools, browse DR-ranked directories, or launch with a dofollow backlink.

Questions

Backlink Value FAQ

How is backlink value estimated?

We combine Domain Rating (strongest signal), whether the link is dofollow, and optional monthly traffic into a 0-100 relative score with a low / medium / high / exceptional tier.

Is this the same as Ahrefs or Moz dollar estimates?

No. This is an educational relative score for founders - not a marketplace price or Ahrefs/Moz dollar figure.
