DR, even though it is a useful metric, is still just a made up metric: it is not completely trustworthy and can easily be manipulated. You shouldn't rely too much on it: just because you have a high DR doesn't mean you will actually rank for anything. Also, a low authority site with lots of content can rank for more keywords than a high authority site with only a few posts.

This also applies to the backlinks you bought, just because they have high DR( or you get many of them), doesn't mean they will actually help you rank

Domain rating (DR) is not a google criteria. Ahrefs creates its own algorithm and scores sites over 100. DR value can be easily manipulated. I suggest you to get links from sites that receive traffic related to your field.

Backlinks is just one part of SEO. If you have little to no content that is optimized for the keywords, no amount of backlinks would be of help.

As you've seen from the low DR sites, you can rank without backlinks but you certainly can't rank without content especially one that is optimized for said keywords.

So, ensure your content is optimized for the keywords, take cues from the first 5 sites on page 1.

Finally, backlinks unlike humans, are not equal. We both could have same number of backlinks and everything else about the same but my site would do better than yours simply because I have higher quality niche relevant backlinks from sites pulling in search traffic in the niche or related niches. In a nutshell, it's not just about the number of backlinks but the quality of it.

It's no surprise that a website with a low DR ranks low for many keywords. Because the content will be optimised for specific keywords and their content strategy will be strong. Yes, this is a common question from newcomers to SEO. To learn more about basic things, visit here:

As everyone already suggested, try not to obsess over DR
The best place to start is GSC. Identify topics with more search interest and nail them.
