Alex looks at metrics
"DR 72, DA 65, TF 48. Three different numbers for the same site. Which to trust? All three are third-party metrics, not from Google. They correlate with authority but don't equal PageRank."
๐ Link profile metrics โ third-party authority scores developed by SEO tools to evaluate link quality.
Key Metrics
- DR (Domain Rating) โ Ahrefs, 0โ100 scale, domain authority
- DA (Domain Authority) โ Moz, 0โ100, ranking prediction
- TF (Trust Flow) โ Majestic, link profile quality
- Referring Domains โ number of unique linking domains
More important than DR/DA:
โข Referring Domains (unique donors)
โข Topical relevance of donors
โข Organic traffic of donor page
DR 20 topical site with traffic > DR 80 with none
โข Referring Domains (unique donors)
โข Topical relevance of donors
โข Organic traffic of donor page
DR 20 topical site with traffic > DR 80 with none
๐ฏ Key point: tool metrics are estimates, not facts. Look at the donor's real traffic and topic.
๐ฎ Test yourself: which metric belongs to Ahrefs?
