Ahrefs Users. What is URL Rank?
 

I have 2 sites.

One gets shit loads of traffic from Google and has plenty (11,000) high quality, relevant backlinks. This site has a URL rank of 1.

The other shows just 21 backlinks but has a URL rank of 15.

Anyone know what this means in real terms?

they have never showed more than a fraction of backlinks.

That doesn't really help. I know that one site has more backlinks than the other but what is the URL rank?

Don't know, but when agrefs shows 11,111 links, yor site might have as little as 3 links. If the 25 links on site 2 come from 12 different sites and the 11,111 links to site 1 come from 3 domains, then the URL rank (whatever that is) might make sense

Ahrefs counts a single side-wide link on 20,000 pages of the same site as 20,000 links, how many links fo you thinkg Google "sees"? Just saying

What, so ahrefs classes the site with a URL rank of 15 better than the site with 1?

Crazy.
