Why check DR in bulk
Link building and directory submissions start as a long list: every launch site, newsletter, podcast and roundup that might mention you. Checking them one by one wastes an afternoon. A bulk check turns the list into a ranked queue in one pass.
A simple way to prioritise
- DR 50+ with followed links. Do these first. One good listing here can be worth more than a dozen weak ones.
- DR 20–50 in your niche. Relevance makes up for a lower number. A DR 30 site that only covers your category is a strong signal.
- Under DR 20. Only if they bring real visitors. Many small directories are worth it for referral traffic alone.
Drop anything with a suspiciously high DR and no visible traffic or content. Link farms can inflate the number without being worth a link.
After the bulk check
Open the top rows and confirm the link is followed with the dofollow checker. Then estimate what each placement is worth with the backlink value calculator.
