The LMRank or dependability score is the number that Link Market has derived from each of our users actions during a set period of time.  The higher the score the more likely the particular user will follow up on link requests according to Link Market terms.

For example:  If a user agrees to trade links with score of 9 she/he will have a lot faster response time then a user with a score of 5 or below.
