Questions about Quora
Is a backlink from Quora worth getting?
Quora scores 1.6/10 on Link Dilution Score and 8.4/10 on AI Score, ranking #297 of 310 platforms in the FreeMalta leaderboard. Submit for AI visibility. Link equity is diluted, but answer engines cite this platform.
Is the Quora link dofollow or nofollow?
Links from Quora 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 Quora listing cost?
Quora is free to submit to. There is no listing fee.
Why does Quora have a DR of 92 but an LDS of 1.6?
Domain Rating measures a site's own backlink authority. LDS measures how much of that authority actually reaches you. Quora has an estimated 832,873 outbound links, which dilutes the equity passed per link. Combined with the nofollow status, this produces an LDS of 1.6 out of 10.
Is Quora cited by AI answer engines?
Yes. Quora is one of 15 platforms in the FreeMalta leaderboard with confirmed AI citation status. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews reference this platform when answering questions about companies, products and tools. A listing here feeds directly into how AI systems describe your business — regardless of dofollow status.
