discussion AI-based domain scoring — are backlinks still the strongest signal?

[Hashim]

We all know age and keywords matter, but what about link data?


I’m researching how AI scoring models handle backlink quality — not just quantity — for dropped domains.
Some domains with only a handful of clean backlinks seem to outperform those with 500+ spammy links.


What’s been your experience?
Would love to hear from those who have tracked ranking or resale success based on backlink trust.

Hi, Hashim

From what I’ve seen, trustworthy and relevant backlinks often seem to influence resale value more than volume.

as I see it > TLD comes first, then in how many TLDs a domain is registered, then is it clean (characters, numbers, hyphens). These would be top 3. Then there come: single word or not, cost per click price.

but, when are talking about seo domains > they have totally different rules > then it is all about the possible traffic, DA, DR, niche and similar
