27.2% of all links are from Indonesian/Thai gambling sites. The LIVE22 operation uses 3 specific ME-QR redirect URLs across 50+ hacked domains.
Mean DR 31.1 beats QRCodeChimp (21.9) due to TripAdvisor cluster and genuine high-DR links from Rede D'Or (83), BILLA (77), Thai gov (80).
38.9% of clean anchors are "Menu" in 15+ languages. ME-QR is essentially a restaurant menu hosting platform that happens to be a QR code generator.
Link acquisition peaked Nov-Dec 2025 (~1,500/mo) and is declining sharply. Combined with massive link loss, the profile is shrinking.

ME-QR is being weaponized by the LIVE22 gambling operation. Three specific QR redirect URLs (0rroy7yy, E2bKQY0O, IoqBBkfE) appear across 50+ hacked domains with gambling content. Legitimate sites like themagicalworldof.com (DR 87) have been hijacked.
ME-QR's biggest genuine link source (2,798 links across 20+ country TripAdvisor domains). When restaurants use FreeQR for menus, TripAdvisor listings automatically link to the menu QR URL.
Rede D'Or (DR 83, 424 links) and Clínica Alemana (DR 82) demonstrate massive link potential from healthcare app download QR pages. A single hospital network client = hundreds of links.
43 .gov domains (Thailand OBEC DR 80, India TEC DR 68, etc.) use ME-QR for public information. Government QR adoption is a high-authority link goldmine.
Puy du Fou (DR 70, 25 links), GPSmyCity (DR 76, 47 links), Visit Phu Quoc (DR 78, 91 links). Tourism venues using QR for visitor experiences.
BILLA Slovakia (DR 77) links to ME-QR for digital supermarket flyers. This is a replicable pattern for retail chains digitizing print media.
ME-QR's 27.2% gambling spam is a competitive weakness. FreeQR can position itself as the secure, trusted alternative with proactive content moderation.
