Results
High-Authority Media Coverage

Domain Rating Explosion
The DR increased from 1 to 27 within 2 months—a 2,600% increase!
This is particularly impressive because DR is on a logarithmic scale, meaning it takes exponentially more effort to increase from 2→3 than from 1→2.
According to research, 42% of companies took more than three months to witness a noticeable increase in their DA scores. We achieved this in less than two months.
Organic Traffic Growth
| Initial Traffic | Final Traffic | Growth |
|---|---|---|
| 400/month | 3,236/month | 709% |
