MakerHunt scores 1.9/10 on Link Dilution Score and 2.8/10 on AI Score, ranking #284 of 310 platforms in the FreeMalta leaderboard. Low cost, low risk. Worth submitting, but not a priority.
Is the MakerHunt link dofollow or nofollow?
Links from MakerHunt are nofollow — they do not pass direct link equity for search rankings. This applies a 0.5× penalty in the LDS calculation. Nofollow links still carry value for referral traffic, brand signals and AI entity verification.
How much does a MakerHunt listing cost?
MakerHunt is free to submit to. There is no listing fee.
Why does MakerHunt have a DR of 33 but an LDS of 1.9?
Domain Rating measures a site's own backlink authority. LDS measures how much of that authority actually reaches you. MakerHunt has an estimated 60,840 outbound links, which dilutes the equity passed per link. Combined with the nofollow status, this produces an LDS of 1.9 out of 10.
