What is the Link Gap Calculator?

This calculator analyzes top-ranking pages for your target keyword to determine the average number of referring domains required to compete. It provides a concrete target for your outreach campaigns.

Why TheLinkYard is Different

  • Analyzes median referring domains, not just averages
  • Filters out outlier domains like Wikipedia or Amazon
  • Factors in the quality (DR) of required backlinks
  • Gives actionable targets based on realistic timelines
