How this list is put together
Domain Rating (DR) is Ahrefs' 0-100 estimate of a domain's backlink-profile strength; it is not a measure of traffic, relevance, conversion, or guaranteed SEO value. The values and channel details are a source-data snapshot audited 2026-08-13, not a live endorsement or proof that every destination currently accepts submissions. Only 3 of 240 rows currently retain dated evidence. Unknown DR, cost, approval, and link fields stay explicitly unknown. Verify destination terms before submitting or paying. Sorting uses known DR values descending, then name; rows without a DR appear last. No destination paid to be included in this ranking.
