DR 70+ Guest Posts
Placements on Ahrefs DR 70+ domains — the top shelf, for pages that need the strongest links money legitimately buys.
DR 70+ guest posts place your link on sites with Ahrefs Domain Rating of 70 or higher, our top authority tier, reserved for businesses that need the strongest possible link signal to compete for the most contested keywords. These sites are genuinely difficult to secure placements on, and pricing reflects that scarcity.
What DR 70+ Actually Represents
Domain Rating above 70 puts a site in the top tier of authority most businesses will ever compete against, typically reflecting years of genuine link accumulation and content authority. Very few sites in any given niche actually reach this level.
Why We Verify Beyond the DR Number Alone
DR can be inflated through link schemes, so a site claiming DR 70+ needs real organic traffic and a legitimate publishing history behind it before we consider it genuinely premium inventory, not just a number that looks impressive on paper.
Who Actually Needs This Tier
Businesses competing in the most contested national or global keyword spaces, where every top-ranking competitor already has an extensive, high-authority backlink profile. For most local and moderately competitive keywords, this tier is more than what’s actually needed to rank well.
What You Get With Every Order
A full guest post article written specifically for a vetted DR 70+ site, published live with your link, delivered with a report including the live URL for independent verification through Ahrefs or a similar tool.
How Sourcing Works at This Level
Through direct relationships built over time with editors and site owners managing genuinely authoritative publications, not automated bulk platforms. This is part of why DR 70+ inventory is limited and turnaround takes longer than standard placements.
Realistic Timelines
Expect three to five weeks for placement given the selectivity and editorial review process these sites typically maintain. We won’t rush a placement in a way that compromises the standard that makes this tier valuable.
DR 70+ vs. Our DA 50+ Tier
Our DA 50+ guest post package offers a strong middle authority tier at a lower price point, suitable for most competitive campaigns that don’t need the absolute top authority level.
How This Fits a Full Link Profile
Even one or two DR 70+ links can meaningfully strengthen a profile, especially paired with a broader base of standard guest posts and foundational links. A profile made entirely of top-tier links, with nothing underneath, can look less natural than a realistic mix.
What Makes This Tier Worth the Investment
A single DR 70+ link can carry more ranking weight than several standard-tier links combined, since Google’s ranking systems weigh the linking site’s own authority heavily. For the most competitive keyword battles, this concentrated authority can make the difference.
Common Questions About Pricing at This Tier
DR 70+ placements are our highest-priced link building service, reflecting genuine scarcity and the real difficulty of securing these placements. We list current pricing transparently rather than requiring a custom quote, though availability can vary based on current inventory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DR 70+ overkill for most businesses?
For many local and moderately competitive keywords, yes. We’ll tell you honestly if a lower tier would serve your goals just as well at a lower cost.
Can you guarantee a specific site or niche at this tier?
Exact site availability depends on current inventory. We match your niche as closely as possible within what’s genuinely available.
How quickly will I see ranking impact from a DR 70+ link?
Typically a couple of months for full impact to show in your rankings, following the same general timeline as any backlink, though the eventual impact tends to be stronger per link at this tier.
Should I start with this tier or build up to it?
Most clients build a foundational profile first, then add top-tier placements once the base is established, producing a more natural and effective overall profile.

What Sets Top-Tier Sites Apart From Everything Else
Sites at DR 70+ typically have decades of combined publishing history, extensive original content libraries, and organic backlink profiles built through genuine industry recognition rather than any purchased strategy. Getting a placement means convincing a real editorial team that your content is worth their audience’s time, not simply paying a fee.
How This Tier Affects Your Overall Domain Authority Over Time
A small number of top-tier links, added consistently over months, compounds in effect: each additional high-authority link makes your site look more established to search engines evaluating your overall domain trust, which can make future link building, even at lower tiers, more effective.
Industries Where DR 70+ Links Matter Most
Finance, technology, and other information-heavy industries where a handful of major publications dominate search results tend to require this tier more than local service businesses, since the competitive bar for ranking is set by sites with genuinely extensive authority.
What Happens If We Can’t Secure a Placement in Your Exact Niche
DR 70+ inventory in very narrow niches can be limited. When that happens, we’re upfront about it and can recommend a slightly broader but still relevant site, or suggest the DA 50+ tier as a more realistic alternative for that specific order.
How Agencies Use This Tier for Flagship Clients
Agencies managing high-value client accounts often reserve DR 70+ placements for flagship campaigns where the client’s budget and competitive stakes justify the investment, using lower tiers for the bulk of ongoing monthly work.
Verifying a Placement Independently
Once delivered, check the live URL directly in Ahrefs, look at the site’s real organic traffic trend, and confirm the content reads as genuinely relevant, not a filler piece written purely to house a link. We’re confident every DR 70+ placement holds up to that scrutiny.
A Realistic Recommendation Before You Order
If you’re not certain whether your current keyword competition genuinely requires this tier, a quick review of your top competitors’ backlink profiles will tell you clearly. We’re happy to do that check as part of a free SEO audit before you commit to a top-tier placement you may not yet need.

Why We’re Selective About Recommending This Tier
It would be easy to sell every client the most expensive package regardless of fit. We’d rather build a long-term relationship on honest recommendations, even when that means suggesting a lower tier costs less and serves your goals just as well.
