WeBuildPages is at it again, they released what they call a Deep Link Ratio Calculator that basically "analyzes how the deep link ratio of a site affects its rank in search engines." "A website's deep link ratio is the comparison of the number of backlinks that go to pages under the top level of the website to the total number of backlinks for the entire website."
| DLR = | Total backlinks - Number of backlinks to the top level of the website | x 100% |
| Total backlinks |
