All invented metrics by Ahrefs, semrush and related are semi-useless.
It solve 20-30% of the research.

But you are using those metrics to sell the services on your website though?

Totally agree, I usually just call them vanity metrics. Very little purpose/help

I don't take it too serious because I get some good traffic with Low DA sites, but to be honest a higher DA makes it easy to sell links on a site.

Fair enough. I'm not in the link selling industry but could imagine it being easier to sell links high high DA

Traffic metric, because it's mathematically calculated versus serps.
We were talking about da, dr, pa, etc.
Thank you.

Metrics are useful. You don't pull the trigger based on metrics alone, but it's not like they are garbage.
If you are looking for aged domains, or finding sites to guest post on, and you have a shit ton of domains to filter, then what are you going to do? Looking at each one and making a manual assessment is going to have diminishing returns. You need a starting point and metrics are an excellent place to start.
While not 100% accurate, they're accurate enough for the initial analysis, or in other words 'statistically significant'.
Once you have a smaller list based on metrics, you then deep dive and make your final selection.
This also holds true for keyword difficulty scores, website traffic, or any other type of bulk data analysis.

We can fake the DA easily these days, but it's just for selling the links or flipping the website, no other real use case.
