Checking Domain Rating one site at a time is slow when you are sorting a list of directories or link prospects. Paste up to 25 domains and get every DR in one go, sorted from strongest to weakest, ready to export.
How to use the Bulk DR checker
- Paste up to 25 domains or URLs, one per line.
- Run the check. Each domain's live Ahrefs DR comes back in one table.
- Sort, then download the CSV to keep with your outreach or submission list.
When a bulk check helps
Use it to prioritise a launch directory list, to vet guest-post prospects before writing pitches, or to compare your DR with a set of competitors. Sorting by DR shows you where one placement is worth the effort and where it is not.
What to do with the list
Start with the highest DR sites that give dofollow links in your niche, then work down. Run the dofollow checker on a sample listing page from each site first: a DR 90 site with nofollow links adds nothing to your own DR.
Reading the table
Rows are sorted from highest to lowest DR, and each score is coloured by band: green for 60 and up, blue for 30–59, amber for 10–29 and red below 10. Full URLs are cut down to the hostname and a leading www. is dropped, so pasting a page URL works. A row that shows an error instead of a number means Ahrefs had no rating for it, usually because of a typo or a domain too new to have data.
Cleaning up a messy list
Domains can be separated by new lines, spaces or commas. Duplicates are merged, so the same site pasted twice counts once. Only the first 25 unique domains are checked; split longer lists into batches. If you are pasting from a spreadsheet, copy only the domain column so stray words don't get read as domains.
