How the score works

Directory Score = DR × traffic multiplier. A directory keeps its full DR only if people find it on Google. Badges and link swaps can raise DR; they can't fake search traffic.

Search visits a month	Multiplier
100,000+	× 1.0
10,000–99,999 ← A List Apart	× 0.8
1,000–9,999	× 0.6
100–999	× 0.4
1–99	× 0.2

Grades: A 40+, B 20–39, C under 20. DR is Ahrefs Domain Rating where we have it, otherwise a DataForSEO estimate; search visits are DataForSEO's monthly estimate, refreshed monthly.
