What is Revised Score?

One number, several signals

Revised Score rolls the metrics that matter into a single 0–100 grade, so you can compare two listings without weighing four or five separate figures against each other. It's a percentile blend of link-graph centrality, referring domains, and archive history, calculated across the entire marketplace. A 70 on one listing means the same thing as a 70 on another.

The five bands

Every score falls into a graded band, which is what the color of the score circle tells you at a glance: Emerging under 30, Fair 30–49, Good 50–64, Strong 65–79, and Elite at 80 and above. There's no red band, by design. Anything that would grade as genuinely bad is excluded before it reaches the marketplace, so the bottom of the scale means modest history rather than a warning.

Why it's shown as a range

Listings display a band (65–75, say) rather than an exact integer. Publishing precise scores across thousands of listings would make individual domains re-identifiable without anyone buying anything, and the third-party data underneath shifts often enough that a decimal-precise number would overstate what we actually know. The band is centered on the real score, never stretched upward from it.

Why not just use Domain Authority

Third-party authority scores are a reasonable starting point, but they can be stale, they're gameable, and they say nothing about whether a site ever actually existed. Revised Score is calculated from the verification every listing goes through, including archive continuity, which no off-the-shelf authority metric accounts for.
