What do Ahrefs DR (Domain Rating) and UR (Url rating) stand for?

Several users track fluctuations of their website's domain rating and URL rating . Ahref performs with these tools. Learn more about it here.

Domain rating by Ahref

Domain rating by Ahrefs ' metric shows the strength of a target website's all backlink profiles. DR or domain rating is always measured on a logarithmic scale from zero to a hundred. It describes the strength and authority of the domain as compared to the others. It measures the quality and quantity of backlinks going to the entire domain, while UR rates the links related to the specific pages. On the other hand, these metrics are helpful; it is vital to remember that website does not rank solely due to the backlinks . Sometimes high-ranking of the domain will not turn into traffic.

How is DR calculated?

Check numbers of unique domains that have one dofollow link to the target website

- What are the DR values of these linking domains?

To calculate the UR of your website , you can put it into site explorer of Ahrefs, and you will get the number for the homepage alone.

Is it similar to Google Page Rank?

In Ahrefs , we use some fundamental PageRank rules to calculate URL Rating - Counts link between pages
- Respects the nofollow attribute
- The damping factor is always there
- A user can crawl the web any time
It is an important factor to know the position of the website.

Why should we use UR?
