URL Rating (UR)

Also called: UR

A granular proprietary metric developed by Ahrefs (measured 1-100) assessing the specific backlink strength and link profile of an individual, isolated webpage rather than the root domain.

Tip from Sanoop: Focus on high-context citations rather than link quantity. A single editorial link for URL Rating carries far more trust.
