What is DR, and should I chase it?
DR is Ahrefs’ 0–100 measure of a site’s backlink profile strength. In 2025 Ahrefs recalibrated the scale — scores dropped 20–50 points overnight for many sites, and low-authority sites now rank on genuinely useful content. For builders on free hosting, the practical target isDR 30–45 from real directories and earned links — not chasing a number that doesn’t move revenue.
Automate this with a free tool: ship a real free tool people use (like this checker), and the tool links back. That’s the whole game.
