DR70. Zero page traffic. That's why nothing moved.
Two signals determine ranking probability
- Does the linking page have real traffic?
- Is it ranking for a keyword related to yours?
That’s it. Everything else is noise.
The relevance multiplier:
Same domain. Same placement. Same cost.
One link passes 3× more authority than the other.
Topical relevance is the difference.
Your agency isn’t measuring it.
We compute it for every link.
We don't guess at the methodology.
Classify
ML quality classification
- 18,000+ domains in training data
- BERT entity extraction
- 5 independent classifiers
- 3 of 5 must agree before a link is built
Score
Cosine similarity, not DR
- Every opportunity scored against target keywords
- Page-level topical relevance
- Not domain authority
- CS 0.4+ only
Verify
Traffic, not metrics
- Every linking URL verified for real page-level traffic
- No traffic = no value
- We don’t build it

Harmonic Centrality scored
- Authority graph construction
- Placement targets ranked by HC contribution
- Confirmed by Google’s 2024 API leak
Google confirmed WLDM's
methodology in 2024.
Most agencies still haven't read the patent.
Google weights every link by the probability a real user would click it.
What that means:
- Page-level traffic matters more than domain authority
- Links from ranking pages outperform links from dormant ones
- DR was never the signal Google used
Domain rating was invented by SEO tools. It’s not in Google’s algorithm.
Harmonic Centrality — the measure that matters
- PageRank measures popularity.
- Harmonic Centrality measures efficiency: how fast authority moves through the network.
- Frankfurt Airport vs Paris Charles de Gaulle.
- Paris is more famous. Frankfurt moves more people.
- A well-connected node passes authority faster and more completely than a high-DR domain with poor connectivity.
- WLDM scores every placement by HC contribution before acquisition.
The Google API Leak — 2024
Google's internal documents confirmed what WLDM was already measuring:
- siteFocusScore — topical focus of a domain
- siteRadius — how far pages drift from the core topic
- pageEmbedding / siteEmbedding — vector representations of content
Google runs vector math on authority.
Not link counting. Not domain rating.
Below rank 30 to #1 for "Online Casino."
10 months. No shortcuts.
85,000 monthly searches.
95 keyword difficulty.
$549,000 monthly traffic value.
In a head-to-head analysis against a competitor’s link programme on the same client:
4.3× more harmonic centrality delivered to target pages
78% higher average topical relevance per link
6 major commercial pages with zero competitor HC coverage
Non-brand organic traffic doubled in 90 days.
The methodology gap, on paper.
