Comparing Backlink & Guest Post Packages Side by Side

Comparing Backlink & Guest Post Packages Side by Side

When you have dozens of backlink packages and guest post packages open in separate tabs, trying to mentally track which one offers the best value quickly becomes exhausting. Akua Adforce's saved comparison feature solves exactly this problem: it lets you view multiple packages side by side, with the same metrics, so you can spot differences at a glance.

Why does a comparison feature matter?

As an SEO agency or independent marketer, the core challenge is that two similarly priced packages can offer very different value. One package might offer many low-authority sites at a low price, while another offers fewer sites at much higher authority.

Which metrics show up in the comparison?

  • DR (Domain Rating) - an Ahrefs metric on a 0-100 scale.
  • DA (Domain Authority) - a Moz metric based on a different dataset.
  • PA (Page Authority) - a Moz metric reflecting a specific page's authority.

Sites inside a package are listed in descending order by DR; missing DR values drop to the bottom, and sites with equal DR keep their existing order.

Why domain authority alone isn't enough

DR, DA, and PA are strong reference points, but none alone answers "will this site actually drive relevant traffic to me?" When using the comparison screen, weigh authority metrics together with topic relevance and traffic indicators.

How do you save a comparison?

When you add a package to your comparison list, that selection can be kept temporarily for your session; if you want to come back to it later, use the "saved comparison" feature.

Access to saved comparisons may vary by account type

Access to the saved comparison feature, and how many you can save, may vary by account plan. We recommend checking your current status directly from the dashboard.

The special case of comparing a backlink package against a guest post package

These two product types offer different kinds of value. In the comparison table, each package's sites are listed separately within their own package scope.

A guide to reading the comparison table

FieldData shownHow to interpret it
Package name/priceTotal price of the packageDivide by site count to get average cost per site
Site listEvery domain included in the packageSorted descending by DR
DR / DA / PAThree authority metrics per siteOnly these three metrics appear on the same row
Package scopeWhether content writing is includedExplains the reasoning behind price differences

Common mistakes when comparing packages

  • Focusing only on the highest DR.
  • Comparing raw price instead of per-site cost.
  • Applying the same expectations to different product types.
  • Ignoring metric freshness.

Summary

Akua Adforce's comparison feature lets you see backlink and guest post packages side by side using DR, DA, and PA metrics, and choose the package that best fits your budget with data behind the decision.
