So, here's the deal. DR (Domain Rating) is kinda useless 'cause it can be messed with using spammy backlinks. You really shouldn’t just lean on that number alone. It needs to come with actual traffic. Like, in your case, you’ve got 77 sites linking to you, but when I checked deeper (applied custom filter), only 13 of those are legit and worth anything. The rest either have low DR or don’t actually bring much traffic to pass on.
Honestly, backlinks are still one of the biggest players in the game, whether we’re talking search engines or LLMs (Large Language Models). They’re a key signal for ranking, but there are tons of other factors at play too. You’ve gotta serve up some solid, relevant content that users actually want. But let’s say you’ve got two pages offering the same value, like a little tool that spits out quick results. Which one do you think is gonna rank higher? The one with zero backlinks or the one getting linked from top sources?
Most LLMs still pull their best info from the top results on Google, Bing, and other trusted search engines. And guess what? Those top results are usually the ones with good backlinks and solid content behind them.
