DRs or DAs are useless...
Until you have done the right keyword strategy and implementation. In my last startup, Having only DR-4, we were able to scale the website from
- 0 to 1.60M impressions in 12 months
- 0 to 34k+ clicks in 12 months, with 88.8% of traffic only from targeted demographic
Just with the right Keyword strategy!
This clearly showed me that the SEO game is mostly around keyword research and content relevancy.

I agree that keyword research and content relevancy are important factors in SEO, but it's important to note that domain authority (DA) and domain rating (DR) are just two of many factors that can influence a website's search engine rankings.

@imtiyaz922 Absolutely, but the problem is... most of the markets spend mostly time on increasing the DR and DA's of their website rather focusing on relevancy of the content. Now the problem begins when they start looking for paid backlinks or link exchange. Paid backlinks and link exchange is against the google policies. Besides that, a good article automatically gets organic backlinks which gets a higher weightage among them since reaching out for backlinking is a manual process, and assume getting backlinks for 200 articles.. it's exhausting. This is where content relevancy plays the game. Gets you organic backlinks.
I do have ranked many pages on #1 with zero backlinks. Driving 10k+ traffic.

@adarsh_salesrobot We had a similar experience with our product RangeFlow.com, where we saw good traffic with a DR less than 5 after implementing a single Pillar-Cluster.
