ahrefs DR reverse engineering: With my own efforts I only reached 70% correlation between model and reality. Hired someone on fiverr for $90 - now the correlation is 99% - I still cannot believe it - need some more checks but it looks very promising!

reverse engineering ahrefs DR algo. I have found a model with 89% correlation. Which is very strong already! #seokickstarter

continued on my ahrefs DR reverse engineering. Around 10h investment, old model: correlation: 89%, new model: correlation 69% 😭

reverse engineering ahrefs DR model- part 137

reverse engineering ahrefs' DR system

reverse engineering ahrefs DR metrics. I'm 2 months, 70 commits into this. I like these deep dives a lot. But then they are scary because I never know if it pays off

making Claude 3.5 Sonnet to come up with a pytorch code which finds a model which computes the ahrefs DR impact of a backlink. With manual exploration I came to a correlation of 66%. 5 minutes of Claude -> pytorch already pushed it up to 72%

reverse engineering ahrefs DR dimension - it's somehow logarithmic, but how exactly?

gathered enough backlink data now - found backlinks from 439 different domains which have a high impact on ahrefs' DR. Next step: see which backlinks are easily achievable and/or free

researching why some backlinks of the same source domain have such a different impact on ahrefs' DR than others

continuing ahrefs DR reverse engineering. I'm 2.5 months into this (~10h per week only though). This better pays out 🙂

Finding jumps in Domain Authority on ahrefs and associating it to backlinks. This research approach looks very promising #seokickstarter

automating reverse engineering of ahrefs DA. But the credit system is killing me: 25% of all credits used and I barely started 😓

research what backlinks contribute most to ahrefs DR jump, continued (I will spend some more days on this 🙂

updating "ahrefs DR impact prediction" model with fresh data. Man I hate this python notebook

back from 3 days of holidays, and straight into ahrefs DR reverse engineering again 🙂
