DR Analysis and Opportunity Filtering
Understand how GoSEO displays Domain Rating, backlink quality, topical relevance, and risk signals, and how to use these metrics to filter opportunities.
Feature Analysis
DR analysis helps you decide whether a backlink opportunity is worth your time. GoSEO doesn't just look at Domain Rating; it also considers topical relevance, outbound link density, page type, and risk signals to avoid being misled by high-DR but low-quality pages.
Detailed Steps
When analyzing, first assess the overall site strength, then check whether the target page itself has real traffic and contextual relevance. Only pages that meet quality, relevance, and contactability are recommended for outreach.
Detailed Steps
Complete the setup step by step
Open the DR analysis view for the target domain or candidate page.
Check the Domain Rating, number of referring domains, and page type.
Check topical relevance and whether the page is still being updated.
Look at outbound link density to exclude link farms or directory spam pages.

Core Metrics
DR is part of evaluating backlink opportunities, but not the only criterion. GoSEO also displays topical relevance, outbound link density, page type, recent updates, and suspected link network risk.
Filtering recommendations
When filtering, first narrow the scope by relevance, then sort by DR and risk signals. Avoid spending budget on sites that are irrelevant or that excessively sell links.
Filtering recommendations
Complete the setup step by step
Set topical relevance to Medium or High.
Exclude pages with an unusually high density of outgoing links.
Check whether candidate pages have a real author, an updated timestamp, and a natural content structure.
Prioritize content that complements your target page.

Risk Warning
If a site has a very high DR but the page content is extremely short, the backlink list is disorganized and anchor texts are highly commercialized, it is recommended to lower its priority or exclude it outright.
