Backlink data requires access to search engine indices or third-party APIs (Ahrefs, Moz, SEMrush). This tool provides educational content about backlink metrics and a manual tracker for recording and analyzing your backlink research.
A search engine ranking score that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search results. Higher DA means more potential ranking power.
Tip: A backlink from a DA 60+ site is very valuable. Focus on earning links from DA 30+ sites at minimum.
Similar to DA but measures the ranking strength of a specific page rather than the entire domain.
Tip: PA is more specific than DA. A high-PA page linking to you passes more value than a low-PA page on a high-DA domain.
Shows the strength of a website's backlink profile compared to others. Uses a logarithmic scale.
Tip: DR focuses specifically on backlink strength, while DA considers additional factors.
Measures the quality of links pointing to a URL based on how trustworthy the linking sites are.
Tip: High TF with low Citation Flow can indicate a very authoritative niche site.
Measures the link equity or 'power' a URL carries based on how many sites link to it.
Tip: The TF/CF ratio is important. A ratio close to 1 suggests high-quality links.
Passes link equity (PageRank) to the linked page. The default link type and most valuable for SEO.
<a href="url">text</a>Tells search engines not to pass link equity. Still provides traffic and brand awareness.
<a href="url" rel="nofollow">text</a>Indicates the link was placed by users (comments, forums). Google treats these as hints.
<a href="url" rel="ugc">text</a>Marks paid or sponsored links. Required by Google's guidelines for any compensated links.
<a href="url" rel="sponsored">text</a>Focus on quality over quantity. One link from a DA 70 site is worth more than 100 links from DA 10 sites.
