DomCop05th March 2023 (Update): We have brought back the Ahrefs metrics for DomCop customers. You need to have an active account with Ahrefs to be able to see their metrics at DomCop.
Once you login, you can visit the integration page and authorize DomCop to be able to view Ahrefs metrics. Once done, you will start seeing all Ahrefs metrics.
14th October 2022 (Update): We are currently working on bringing back Ahrefs metrics for all DomCop users that have any active Ahrefs subscription. We will post more updates once the integration is live. Stay tuned!

Three years ago based on customer requests, we contacted Ahrefs about integrating their metrics into DomCop. They agreed to this, and so we purchased a subscription to the Ahrefs API and incorporated their metrics directly into DomCop.
Yesterday, we got an email from Ahrefs stating that they have changed their mind. They want us to stop using their API to show you their metrics. Instead, they want us to enable app integration so that every DomCop customer who wants to filter domains using Ahrefs’ metrics would need to have an Ahrefs account paying at least $399/mo (and maybe more).
We can see why they are doing this – profitability is essential to every company and therefore we hold nothing against them. If there is a chance for them to get every DomCop customer to purchase a costly Ahrefs account, then it makes sense for them to do so. Nevertheless, we are disappointed by this turn of events.
We will, therefore, be removing all Ahrefs metrics from our software in about week from now (3rd July 2019). Apologies to any of you, who have been relying on Ahrefs metrics to find great domains, but there isn’t anything we can do about it. Sorry! 🙁
Luckily, most DomCop customers rely much more on Moz’s Domain Authority 2.0 (the industry standard) and Majestic’s Topical Trust Flow, and so not many customers will be affected by this change.
In a recent test done by Brian Dean (of Backlinko fame), Moz comes out on top in link index size and finding links to a domain and Domain Authority will continue to be the Gold standard metric in domain link equity analysis. Additionally, Majestic’ Topical Category data is a favorite metric for us, so we are not bothered about DomCop’s ability to find you the best expired domains for your businesses.
However, for those of you who are used to Ahrefs metrics and now need to manually remove them from your saved searches, we are truly sorry. We are happy to manually fix this for you, just email us at support@domcop.com.
While the metrics will be removed on 3rd July 2019, it might take our developers a little longer to remove any mentions of Ahrefs from our website. We will keep this blog post linked from the top header at DomCop until such time.
If there are any other metrics you’d like us to integrate DomCop with, please don’t hesitate in emailing us at support@domcop.com.
