Links from websites with a Domain Rating (DR) of 80 or higher signal high trust to search engines, boosting your site's ranking potential. However, manually searching for and vetting such platforms is a time-consuming task.
In this guide, we'll explain how to use our Guest Post Selection Tool and Free Backlinks Sites List to quickly and effectively find DR80+ dofollow links that align with your niche and geographic focus.
How to Find DR80+ Links Using the Guest Post Selection Tool
- Launch the tool in your project. Log in to your account and select the project for which you want to find links. If you haven't created your first project yet, our "Quick Start Guide" will walk you through the process.
- Add a DR filter. Click the "Create filter" button. For detailed instructions on creating filters, refer to our help article.
- In the "Ahrefs" field, set the minimum DR value to 80. This will filter out sites with lower ratings, allowing you to focus on the most authoritative link donors.
- Save and apply the filter. Click "Save filter." The tool will instantly process your request and display all sites with a DR of 80 or higher from our extensive database. In this case, it found 3,921 highly authoritative platforms that were available for further analysis and refinement based on additional criteria.
How to Select DR80+ Dofollow Links for Your Target Country and Niche
Not all 3,900+ sites will be relevant to your business, so further filtering is essential. Relevance matters: a DR90+ link from a tourism-related site on a financial website will carry less value than a link from a less authoritative but topically aligned resource.
Here's how to refine your search:
- Edit an existing filter by clicking "Edit filter." For detailed guidance on editing filters, check out this help article. Alternatively, create a new filter via "Create filter" if you want to preserve the original list of sites.
- Specify additional parameters. Add your business category and target countries to the filter. For example, we selected the "Travel and Tourism" category in the USA. Double-check that the DR is set correctly, then update the filter.
- Refresh the search. The tool now returns 11 high-quality links. To check the cost of placing content on any of these sites, click "View prices." The service will display available content types and pricing for publication through link exchanges, helping you identify the most cost-effective options.
- Perform a comprehensive site analysis. Beyond Domain Rating, you can evaluate other metrics for a site, such as referring domains, backlinks, traffic (Ahrefs), Trust Flow and Citation Flow (Majestic), and Domain Authority and Page Authority (Moz). These metrics are presented in a table for easy comparison, helping you assess the quality of a donor site and avoid those with signs of manipulation or penalties.
- Save your results. Download the list of sites as a CSV file by clicking the download icon in the top-right corner of the table.
Once you've identified a platform that meets all your criteria, you can purchase placement through our partner sites.
The process for using the Free Backlink Sites List is similar: access your project, create a filter, and sort the results. For the same query, this tool found one site for free link posting.
To learn how to place content on a site, click "How to get." You'll receive links to detailed placement instructions and a sample publication.
Conclusion
Our Guest Post Selection Tool streamlines the process of finding high-quality DR80+ dofollow links. Instead of manually analyzing thousands of sites, you get a curated list of promising platforms filtered by key parameters: niche, geography, and Domain Rating. This saves time and helps you build a robust, natural, and relevant link profile.
