FAQ

Questions about this tool

When you enter a domain and hit Fetch, we pull its current authority and referring domains live from a real backlink-data provider (Moz). You can also type the values in manually.

We combine your authority gap, timeframe, and niche difficulty into an estimated number of new referring domains to earn per month. Your current authority is live data; the projected target is a planning estimate, not a ranking guarantee.

It reflects how competitive your space is. More competitive niches typically require more quality referring domains to move authority, so the estimate scales up accordingly.

No. Backlinks are one important ranking factor among many. Use the target to plan ethical, editorial outreach — not as a promise of rankings.

Referring domains — the number of unique sites linking to you — are a better target than raw backlink count, because many links from one site still count as a single referring domain.
