Ahrefs

It is known that a backlink from a website with a higher Domain Rating will have more value for your own Domain Rating.&nbsp;

But it’s not only DR that matters.&nbsp;

<b>What’s also important is how many websites this site links to.</b>

Let’s imagine you have two backlinks from two different websites.&nbsp;

One has a DR of 30 and very few outbound links, while the second one has a DR of 70 and links to everyone.&nbsp;

In simplest terms, the <b>outbound link from the DR30 domain will be more valuable and therefore can boost your own DR more than the link from the DR70 domain.</b>
