How much is a backlink worth?
Enter Domain Rating, monthly organic traffic, and whether the link is dofollow. The estimate is illustrative. The comparison is the point: agencies often charge ~$500 per link; KarmaLinks Pro is $19/month.
Illustrative estimate
$640
One link from a DR 40 site.
Agency ballpark: $500+. KarmaLinks Pro is $19/month, about 26 months of Pro per one agency invoice.
How the number is calculated
USD ≈ (DR × $12) + (log10(traffic + 1) × $40). Nofollow is 15% of that. It is a rate-card sketch, not Ahrefs data. Publish the inputs you used if you cite this page.

FAQ
Is this the real market price of a backlink?
No. It is an illustrative estimate from a published formula (DR points plus a traffic kicker, discounted if nofollow). Agency invoices vary. Use it to compare order-of-magnitude cost, not as a valuation.
Why compare to $500 and $19/month?
Operators often pay $500+ per placed dofollow link through agencies. KarmaLinks Pro is $19/month for a monthly Karma Points grant. You earn links by giving them, through ABC exchanges, not by buying them.
Does this use Ahrefs or crawl my site?
Neither. You type DR and traffic. The math runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to KarmaLinks.
Don't buy the link. Join a club that only does ABC exchanges, and spend Karma Points instead of invoices.
