Yes, DA/DR still have some value as quick screening metrics, but I wouldn't make them the deciding factor.
Yes, both would be perfect but only if the budget permits it. This way, you can take advantage of the strengths of both approaches and need not solely depend on one.
Yeah, me too. It is helpful as an initial filter, but I would be more concerned about the relevance of topics, traffic, and quality of the backlinks of the website.
100%. DR is simply a vanity metric that can be manipulated through spammy redirects anyway. Organic traffic movement and relevance to niche will always be more valuable than an inflated third-party score.
Domain metrics like DR and DA matter much less today because they are easily manipulated with artificial link networks.Based on my experience auditing client portfolios, choosing a lower metric site with genuine topical relevance and organic traffic is always the safer choice.Focus on audience alignment and real traffic trends rather than vanity numbers to keep your strategy effective..
