If I'm working on a website that has a domain rating of 64 (ahrefs), and wondering: How many backlinks – and of what quality – would I need to increase it to 70 DR? What about increasing it by just 2-3 points? I'm currently trying to determine if this is a worthwhile endeavour, and I would love some input from any backlink pros!

hey @Jonathan Boshoff and rest of community! I've been working on a website through the fall, mostly refreshing old content, producing a few net new SEO-optimized blogs, and cleaning up a lot of technical issues. I've seen great MoM growth and started hitting peak traffic in November. All was going great. Now since the December core updates, my keywords have dropped dramatically (down by half) and traffic is hitting low this Feb (not as dramatic as KW loss but it's down too). I'm not really sure what has happened here. Does anyone have any advice?
