What many people don’t know is that Civilized is a Canadian effort, launched by Derek Riedle and his wife in Saint John, New Brunswick after friends and family chipped in with just over $1 million in funding to get things rolling.
Before I get any deeper, I have to apologize about not getting our blog post out last week as we’ve been working on another website launch that will compliment CannabisBacklinks.
I’d love to show more, but we’re still a week or two away from officially launching the new site and we have a ton of work to do. Look for an announcement coming sooner than later once we’re ready to take on members.
Launched in 2015, Civilized is the leading lifestyle media brand that connects millions of cannabis consumers, influencers and the canna-curious with both niche and mainstream content, events and experiences, and fashion. With operations in both Canada and the United States, Civilized creates original, premium digital content, television and podcasts; builds brands; and creates and produces world-class events and experiences for B2B and B2C audiences. Civilized is fast becoming the partner of choice for mainstream brands, and the cultural authority on the exploding global cannabis space.
I’ve been a big fan of their content for quite some time now, especially their video series that often rack up millions of views on YouTube.

So congratulations on the acquisition to the entire Civilized team, but I’m cutting this post a little shorter as I’ve been getting only a few hours of sleep over the last week and we’re trying to get our new website out. Let’s hit the numbers…
SEO audit for Civilized (Civilized.life)
DR Rank – 71
DR stands for Domain Rank, it’s a score used to determine the authority of your website in search engine rankings. This is also commonly referred to as DA (Domain Authority) depending on the SEO tool you are using.
Referring Domains – 3936
This is the total number of domains or websites that link back to civilized.life
Referring Pages – 42,192
This is the total number of pages that link back to civilized.life
Backlinks – 78,370
This is the number of actual links back to civilized.life
Dofollow Backlinks – 58,113
DoFollow links are powerful because these types of links tell Google to pay attention to the site they are linking to and increases the authority score of that website
Nofollow Backlinks – 19,679
NoFollow backlinks are still important, but tells Google to essentially ignore them and doesn’t pass link juice that increases the authority rank of the website they’re linking to

Search Keywords By Volume
Search keywords by volume is the actual number of searches for a specific keyword or term on Google. You don’t need to be ranked #1 for a keyword with big search volumes for huge SEO wins and can often be more valuable than ranking #1 if more people are coming to your website with that search volume.
