Does ToolPilot give a dofollow backlink?
ToolPilot links to your site with a dofollow link, the kind Google may count toward your site's authority.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 77. Part of that comes from sites that link back to it in exchange for a listing, so it likely overstates what its link is worth to you (why).
