Bulk DR CheckDomain Rating (DR), Domain Authority (DA) and Trust Flow (TF) are the three most-used authority metrics in SEO. Each comes from a different provider and measures backlink strength in its own way. Here's how they compare.
Measures the strength of a website's backlink profile on a 0–100 logarithmic scale. The dominant currency in link building and site-flipping markets.
Moz's 0–100 score predicting how well a domain will rank in search. Widely quoted in outreach and guest-posting circles.
Majestic's metric scoring the quality and trustworthiness of links pointing to a site, paired with Citation Flow for quantity.
Which should you use? Most SEO professionals lead with DR because Ahrefs runs one of the largest live backlink indexes, making it the most responsive of the three — and the default metric quoted on link marketplaces. That said, smart link vetting rarely relies on a single number. Cross-referencing metrics gives a fuller picture: a domain with strong DR but weak Trust Flow may have high link volume but questionable link quality. For a second opinion on any domain, you can check its Moz Domain Authority and Page Authority with this DA PA Checker, then compare it against the DR you get here. Reading DR, DA and TF together is the most reliable way to judge a site\'s true authority before you buy a link or a domain.

When buying or selling websites, DR is the #1 authority metric buyers check. Higher DR = higher site valuation.
Brands and agencies use DR to decide which sites to partner with. A strong DR opens doors to better collaborations.
High-authority sites get crawled more frequently by Google, meaning your new content gets discovered and ranked faster.
Compare your DR against competitors to know exactly where you stand and how much link building you need.
New or weak sites. Time to build authority.
Growing profile with real potential.
Strong sites, competitive in most niches.
Top-tier authority. Elite territory.
Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) is a metric that shows the strength of a website's backlink profile on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100. The higher the DR, the stronger and more authoritative the website is considered by SEO professionals worldwide.

DR increase campaigns typically take 2–4 weeks to fully reflect in Ahrefs. This is the natural time Ahrefs takes to crawl, index, and recalculate ratings after new authority links are established.
Our results come directly from live Ahrefs data — the same figures you would see inside Ahrefs Site Explorer. Data is refreshed continuously as Ahrefs recrawls the web.
0–29 is Poor (new/weak sites), 30–49 is Fair (growing authority), 50–69 is Good (strong, competitive sites), and 70–100 is Excellent (top-tier authority like major publications). Always benchmark against competitors in your specific niche.

Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) is a proprietary metric created by Ahrefs that measures the overall strength of a website's backlink profile on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100. A brand-new website starts at DR 0, while global giants like Google and Wikipedia sit at or near DR 100.
DR does not measure traffic or content quality — it measures one thing: how strong and authoritative the links pointing to a website are. Because backlinks remain one of Google's most important ranking factors, DR has become the industry's standard shorthand for website authority.
Ahrefs counts how many unique domains link to your website, evaluates the DR of each linking domain (a link from DR 85 transfers far more authority than one from DR 15), and considers how many other sites each linker also links to.
Results sit on a logarithmic scale — moving from DR 10 to 20 is easy, but DR 70 to 80 requires exponentially more link authority. This is why high-DR sites are so valuable and why our Increase DR service is priced by target tier.
The industry recognizes four tiers: 0–29 Poor (new sites), 30–49 Fair (growing authority), 50–69 Good (strong, competitive sites), and 70–100 Excellent (elite authority).
The smartest use is comparative: run your domain and your top competitors through our bulk DR checker. If competitors average DR 45 and you sit at DR 22, closing that gap should become a core part of your SEO strategy.
DR is Ahrefs' metric; DA (Domain Authority) is Moz's. Both measure authority on a 0–100 scale but use different crawlers and databases. Ahrefs operates one of the largest live backlink indexes in the world, which is why most SEO professionals — and virtually all link marketplaces — treat DR as the primary currency of website authority.
Rankings: sites with higher DR consistently rank faster and higher. Monetization: your DR directly sets your guest post and link placement prices — a DR 50 site charges several times more than a DR 20 site.
Website value: DR is the first metric every website buyer checks. Partnerships: brands and agencies filter outreach targets by DR — a strong rating gets your emails answered.
Checking DR normally requires a $99+/month Ahrefs subscription. Our free DR checker pulls the same live data at zero cost — guests get 20 domains per check 3 times daily, a free account unlocks 100 domains 10 times daily, and Pro at $5/month gives you 1,000 domains per check with unlimited runs. Every single check produces a shareable result card downloadable as PNG.
Organic routes — link-worthy content, digital PR, guest posting — work but often take 6–12 months. Our Increase DR service handles everything: high-authority white-hat backlinks raise your DR to a guaranteed target of 20+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 70+, 75+ or 80+ within 2–4 weeks.
DR 20–40 packages carry a Lifetime Permanent Guarantee; DR 50–80 packages include a full 1 Year Guarantee. If your rating drops below target inside the window, we restore it free.
"DR is a Google ranking factor" — it isn't, but it closely mirrors the link signals Google does use. "More backlinks always means higher DR" — false; five links from authoritative domains beat a thousand spammy ones.
"DR updates instantly" — Ahrefs recalculates as it recrawls the web, taking days to weeks. That's exactly why honest DR campaigns quote 2–4 week timelines.
