### Quantifying Backlinks Quality — The Bare Minimum One reason to move away from a simple link-count metric: the DR range of 1–100 is **not a linear scale — it's logarithmic**. Earning a DR70 link is exponentially harder than a DR30, so your scoring system should reflect that. This system grants significantly more points to higher-DR links, which makes for fairer goal-setting and rewards for your outreach team. **Copy our Google Sheet:** https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mr9CsQzRvE1rCk6equFHVPQZzg0m_CxHFut8RlNPyEQ/edit?usp=sharing **Related backlink type episodes:** - Type 1 Backlinks (S03E06) - Type 2 Backlinks (S03E07) - Type 3 Backlinks (S03E08)
