## How to use it

1. **Paste your list.** Up to 25 domains or URLs, one per line or separated by commas. Duplicates are merged.
2. **Check all.** One request to Ahrefs' free Domain Rating API covers the whole list.
3. **Sort and export.** Results come back highest DR first. Download the CSV to keep it with your outreach sheet.

## 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

1. **DR 50+ with followed links.** Do these first. One good listing here can be worth more than a dozen weak ones.
2. **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.
3. **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](/tools/dofollow-nofollow-checker). Then estimate what each placement is worth with the [backlink value calculator](/tools/backlink-value-calculator).

Scores come from Ahrefs' public Domain Rating API and are shown with the credit their licence requires.

## Questions

### How many domains can I check at once?

Up to 25 per run. For a longer list, run it in batches of 25 and combine the CSVs.

### Do I need an Ahrefs account?

No. The tool uses Ahrefs' free public Domain Rating endpoint, so there is no login, key or payment on your side.

### Why does a domain show no rating?

Either the line was not a valid domain, or Ahrefs had no score for it. Very new or unlinked domains can return nothing at all.

### Does the CSV include the full URL I pasted?

It includes the normalised domain and its Domain Rating. DR is a domain-level score, so paths are not kept.
