Stronger than 99.99% of the 134,979,706 ranked domains (by harmonic centrality).

What 57 means

Top 0.01% of the web graph. Among the most linked-to domains on the web: global brands, platforms and major publishers.

What drives this score

OAR 57 adds up two positions in the cc-main-2026-aug-sep-oct link graph: harmonic centrality, worth up to 70 points, and PageRank, worth up to 30.

  • Harmonic centrality rank #2,57140.6 of 70 points
  • PageRank rank #6,59715.9 of 30 points

PageRank is the weaker signal here. It rises with the number and weight of links pointing at thoughtco.com, but it carries only 30% of the score, so harmonic centrality still moves OAR more.
