What's your Domain Rating?
The 0–100 score that decides whether Google takes your site seriously. Type a domain, watch the needle, know where you stand.
Didn't like the number?
Nobody does, the first time. The good news is that DR is logarithmic: going from 0 to 20 is a fraction of the work of going from 70 to 80. The bottom of the scale is cheap, and almost nobody bothers to climb it — which is exactly why the first month of effort produces the biggest jump you will ever see.
There is only one input to this score: other websites linking to yours. Not your content, not your word count, not your page speed. So the whole game is getting links — and here is the order that works.
01Get on the map with directories
10–15 free, dofollow directory listings in week one. No pitching, no relationship to build — you fill in a form and you get a link. This alone typically takes a brand-new domain from DR 0 into the low teens.
02Ignore anything nofollow
Product Hunt and Crunchbase send traffic, not authority. If the number is what you are chasing this month, spend your submission time on dofollow targets only.
03Then earn links you cannot submit for
Original data, a free tool, a guide people cite. Slow, but it is the only thing that takes you past DR 40 — and it only works once the foundation is there.
The full breakdown — the DR tiers, what moves the number and what does nothing at all, the highest-DR dofollow directories, and a week-by-week plan from DR 0 to DR 30 — is in our guide: What is Domain Rating, and how to increase it fast.
Or skip the fifty forms
Steps 1 and 2 are pure manual labour: the same form, filled in fifty times, by hand. We do it for you in a week — 50 hand-picked directories and a written report at the end. Then you come back here and check the number again.
