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.

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.
