How We Select Platforms: DR, Indexing, Weight
A platform enters the working pool not because "it has a high DR," but because it has passed four independent measurements. Each of them is a separate number in the database, and any of them can exclude the platform from rotation. As of September 12, 2026, there are 72 verified platforms in the database, of which 45 are included and 27 are excluded.
Four Priority Factors
| Factor | What is Measured | Data Source |
|---|---|---|
| Indexability | Share of the platform's publications that actually made it into the index | Own measurements: 25,045 checks across the pool |
| Weight Transfer | dofollow or nofollow link in the rendered DOM | Weight test on live publications |
| Domain Authority | DR of the platform | External source of link metrics |
| Reliability | Share of successful publications, errors, blocks | Platform launch log |
The average DR of included platforms is 73, ranging from 38 to 96. But DR alone means little: a platform with a DR of 94 and zero publication indexing receives low priority because its pages do not appear in search.
Why 27 Platforms Are Excluded
- Not indexed. Publications exist, the link is present, but the pages do not make it into the index — weight is not transferred anywhere.
- Do not transfer weight. The platform applies nofollow to all external links.
- Unstable. Registration is closed, captcha is not passed, a significant share of publications fails.
- Cleaning the niche. Removing materials from certain niches — see gray niches.
- The same publisher. Several brands on one engine and infrastructure provide not diversity, but a single footprint.
Rotation Instead of Favorites
Priority is not a constant value: it is recalculated as new measurements come in. A platform that has dropped in indexing automatically moves down the queue, not after someone has noticed it. Within a single launch, there is a limit on repeats for a platform, so the cascade is distributed rather than falling on a couple of leaders.
How New Platforms Are Added
- The candidate is checked for the number of indexed pages — how many of its materials are actually in search.
- A publication handler is written and tested: registration, login, form, captcha.
- A series of test publications is made, and the success rate is calculated.
- Indexing and weight transfer are measured.
- Only after this is the platform included in the rotation with an initial priority.
In August-September 2026, several major platforms were connected this way, including services with indexes in the millions of pages, and simultaneously, those that stopped being indexed were excluded.
