Formula Used

The tool blends SEO quality, outreach practicality, and commercial value into a single decision model.

Authority Score = (0.60 × Domain Authority) + (0.40 × Page Authority) Traffic Score = min(100, (log10(Organic Traffic + 1) / 6) × 100) Weighted Opportunity = 0.18×Relevance + 0.14×Authority + 0.10×Traffic + 0.10×Contact + 0.10×Response + 0.10×Placement + 0.08×Relationship + 0.08×Backlink Gap + 0.07×Freshness + 0.05×Editorial Fit Friction Penalty = ((0.55 × Spam Risk) + (0.45 × Outreach Difficulty)) × 0.25 Prospect Score = clamp(Weighted Opportunity − Friction Penalty, 0, 100) Expected Monthly Value = Referral Visits × (Conversion Rate / 100) × Average Conversion Value Expected Link Value = Expected Monthly Value × (Prospect Score / 100) × (Response Probability / 100) ROI % = ((Expected Link Value − Outreach Cost) / Outreach Cost) × 100 ROI Score = clamp((ROI + 100) / 3, 0, 100) Priority Index = 0.55×Prospect Score + 0.25×ROI Score + 0.10×Response Probability + 0.10×Relationship Strength

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the Prospect Score represent?

It represents overall opportunity quality after combining fit, authority, traffic, relationship signals, and penalties for spam risk and outreach difficulty.

2. Why is spam risk handled as a penalty?

Spam risk reduces trust and can damage campaign quality. Lower-risk prospects usually produce safer, more sustainable backlink outcomes.

3. How is Expected Link Value different from Expected Monthly Value?

Expected Monthly Value estimates commercial upside from referral traffic alone. Expected Link Value discounts that upside using response probability and prospect quality.

4. Can I use this for guest posts and resource pages?

Yes. The prospect type field supports several outreach models, and the scoring logic works across editorial, guest post, roundup, and resource opportunities.

5. Why does the Traffic Score use a logarithmic formula?

Traffic differences are often extreme. A log scale prevents huge sites from overpowering the model while still rewarding meaningful audience size.

6. What is a good Priority Index?

Higher is better. Scores above 80 are usually strong outreach targets, while lower scores need extra review, warming, or manual qualification.

7. Should I trust the ROI output as a final forecast?

Treat it as a planning estimate. Real-world outcomes depend on actual response rates, placement success, referral behavior, and conversion quality.

8. Can I export results for a client report?

Yes. Use the built-in CSV download for spreadsheets and the PDF export button for a shareable summary.

Practical SEO Note

Strong link prospects are not always the biggest sites. The best opportunities usually balance relevance, low risk, realistic response potential, and clear business value.
